Turn number one felt great. This photo was taken with my GoPro HERO3 using a Chestie Mount.

Deer Valley Day
Posted by Grete on categories: GoPro, skiing

As you may or may not know I interned at the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development this summer and USTAR. We also filmed a commercial for the state of Utah today at Deer Valley. It’s not every day you get to ski Deer Valley, so we made the most of it. Work and play!

I got the chance last Friday to take part in the showing of TGR’s “One For The Road,” at the University of Utah. It was so awesome seeing all the friends at the event. Especially, watching the movie in one of my class’s auditoriums is way better than anything during the day at school.

Chanelle Sladics and I were just at Loon Mountain, NH coaching at Oakley’s Progression Sessions. The event was two days skiing and snowboarding with local women skiers and snowboarders. We had so much fun and can’t believe how many people we met. This photo pretty much sums up our excitement. Next stop will be Canyons in Utah. Sign up now before it is too late! Spots filling up quick.

Here’s the info:

OAKLEY PROGRESSION SESSIONS
03/12/2011
March 12-13, 2011
Looking to step up your skills on the hill? Want to get personalized coaching from Oakley’s top professional athletes? Oakley Progression Sessions is a two-day on-snow camp for the intermediate rider who is looking to advance her “freestyle” skills to the next level, and have fun while doing it!

For women by women, Oakley Progression Sessions is staffed by professional coaches, and it takes place in an on-snow environment where you don’t have to be intimidated by big jumps, aggressive rails, huge pipes or overwhelming crowds. With the private, custom terrain park built just for attendees, you’ll be able to build your skills at your own pace and comfort level with help and encouragement from the Oakley team.
And that’s just on the hill. Off the hill, we’ll have stretching/yoga sessions each morning to get you warmed up and ready to ride.

For the best performance, you’ll get your own custom Oakley Elevate goggle, and you get to design it! Lunch and après are included each day, along with the opportunity to make new friends with girls that have the same love of winter sports as you do. You’ll also get an AMAZING goodie bag, and we’ll be giving out product prizes and much more!

So COME SHRED WITH US! Oakley Progression Sessions is open to women ages 15 and up, and it’s coming to a mountain near you. Space is limited, so don’t hesitate… grab a girlfriend and sign up now!

Holga Sports Shots #1
Posted by Grete on categories: Gear, Lifestyle, Media, skiing

Hey Everyone,

I have recently collaborated with the camera brand Holga. Here are a few of my photos from this winter. I love shooting with a Holga because it gives you such a unique color image. And because it is film, the anticipation of seeing the image is a lot greater than shooting with my GoPro.

Ski Gull, Minnesota.

Remembering CR Johnson
Posted by Grete on categories: Lifestyle, Media, skiing

I remember this time last year I was told CR Johnson died in a ski accident at Squaw Valley. He was a true inspiration and a fantastic man. Whenever I think about CR, I always smile, he was something else.
