Ski Season review 2010

... I just put together my own video footage from last season... so most of the sequences are pretty unprofessional filmed or in POV.

This was my first season were I spent most of the days on skis again. It was a bit challenging to ski at the level that I set up myself, but I proudly can say that I always recognised a further progress. And the best thing at all is that it is so much fun to ski again and that the opportunity to keep on charging seems to be endless!

Trailer - Marmot

... sooo after a summer of being a workoholic, it´s time to concentrate on the important things again :-)
I can´t tell you a lot about some summer actions, there were just some cool hicking trips around my hood and a short holiday in Sardinia. Where I got two days of storm, which were really nice for windsurfing!
But anyway, summer is overrated ;-)
Last season I started a film project for Marmot and in the meanwhile also other partners, like Tirol, Sporthotel Olymp, Arbor, Kohla, ABS and PowerBar joined the film project. Unfortunately we got a lot of snow in the beginning but then it changed a lot during the season and it was pretty dangerous... so we were unable to go for bigger lines. So we need to keep on filming this season, to get the footage we wanna have. But anyway it was fun to start this project and here you can watch the trailer...

enjoy

impressions of the the last 2 seasons

here is a short review of 2009 & 2010 in form of some video footage...

...it shows a part of my first descent from the Warenkarseitenspitze in the eastern Alps, several Freeride Worldtourstops like Krasnaja Poljana (Sochi), Squaw Valley and Tignes and some POV filmings from the Fieberbrunnn FWT Qualifier...

hope you enjoy it,

peace and out

RFC the 2nd

... so it's snowing really hardcore since 25 hours and there is about 1m of fresh pow pow up there on the mountain and an avalanche danger of 5. So we just got told that the competition is cancelled and our first run count at all, that means I'm 21nd in the Ski ranking! This was really a strange experience with the volcano eruption, all flights are still cancelled and we will not be able to fly home on Monday needer. But it's pretty cool here, so it will be nice to get some more impressions of Norway :-)

I started my run not that good as wanted to do it, because the face was extremely rolling in and difficult to orientate and all the frozen muggles,tracks and mini spines didn't make it easy to ski fast and so I didn't get my cliffs at the upper part... but at least I stomped the exit cliff which was about 10m into a really hard landing... but that's Norway :-)

So here are a few impressions and big congratulations to Alex who get 2nd in the Snbrd ranking!

DCR Röldal Freeride Challenge 2010 from Daniel Regensburger on Vimeo.

Röldal Norway the 1st

on Tuesday Alex and me cought the plain to Vienna and then to Oslo to get to the 10th edition of the Röldal Freeride Competition... but to get there we had to travel the whole day long... we left Innsbruck at 6.30 am and arrived in Röldal at 9.00 pm after a nearly endless drive from Oslo to Röldal along really nasty roads... today should have been the first competition day, but we had some snowfall in the morning and caused by the volcano eruption in Iceland the rescue heli didn`t get a flying permit, so we just had a small expression session and we are all qualified for tomorrow, final day one, NICE!!! The conditions are changing during the day, from frozen hard snow in the morning to nice spring snow in the afternoon... Now we`re chilling in the garden in front of the OLDEST cabin of Röldal and are grilling some chicken with some beer :-) getting prepared and strong for tomorrow...

we were so lucky with our sleeping opportunity ... we got the oldest and really original cabin of the whole village

Hicking and exploring new lines

Sorry that I didn't found the time to give you some updates :-)
but here we go...
what did I do the last few weeks? Aside from learning for another exam and some other mandatory responsibilities I had some nice film days including some treeruns and a really interesting nightsession too... And what's better than hicking up some venues, getting more and more away from the smoggy, noisy & stressy city, diving into absolute silence, taking deep breaths of the clean mountain air, feeling the sun shining on your face and the pleasant anticipation for the rewarding ski run down after reaching the top :-) sounds a little bathetic, but that's the way it is!

So enough words now, just watch through the pix, they are self-explanatory...



Oh I nearly forgot to say taht the guy with the yellow jacket is Joi, a really good ski buddy..

...3, 2, 1, straightline :-)

good hicking skins are indispensable, I can really recommend those from Kohla...

...climbing up some steep tight couloir, in really solid and stable snow...

...then we had to install our rope to catch the good old pow pow on the north sided slope...

so what should I say more, than every step was worth it !!

to be continued :-)

Nendaz 3* FWQ

Last weekend was the Nendaz 3 star Qualifier in the french part of Swizerland. I got a ski starting place in the open... so after after a few traffic jams on the highway around Zürich, nearly no space in the car and 7,5h later we arrived in Nendaz. Which is a really nice little village in a typical old swiss style :-) The next day was the open, where we were able to choose two out of three contestfaces. It didn't take me a long time to decide which faces I would like to go. So the first one was not very long, but steep and with a lot of features in it. A couple of lift rides and a 40min hike later I was on the top and ready to go. But there was a first come, first serve system so I had to watch some riders going down first. Finaly the starter gave me the countdown to go... The venue was a bit steeper than I expected it, but it was fun to ride and I had a very good run.

The second face was a little bit longer and we were only allowed to do the inspection from the side (which was somehow strange). At the top I had to wait about an hour watching one going down after another... I had a good feeling about the line that I had chosen... a fast line with 3 drops and the highest in the middle... so I droped in, a few turns and first drop. The landing wasnt soft at all, but still good to land... I knew I had to do two big turns and then to the right to get to the next cliff... I dont know why but I missed this entry and went too late to the right side, so there was only the last small drop left and in the end I just had a solid, fast, but not really spectacular run...

In sum I got 19th of ca. 65 ski competitors, but only 12 were chosen for the final... so I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't have missed that cliff, I would have been really close or maybe in the final... but at least I got the reassurance to be able to compete on ski too :-) thats nice!!! So the next day I brought some beer up to the mountain to watch the final... which was a really great show!!! Cool to watch!!!

Pitztal Wildface

After some snow yesterday we had a beautiful weather and good conditions today.
The Pitztal Wildface is a offpiste time race with 6 direction gates and a vertical drop of (a bit more than) 1500m and 4,6km length...

This view shows the whole run from the top of the mountain to the scott tent

after I saw some crashes from the starting gate, I expected difficult conditions, especially with my high starting number, so I decided to go for a fluid but safe run...
while my run I figured out that it was much more exhausting than I expected it, so the real challenge was to keep on skiing fast over all the tracked terrain, but I made it to the 7th place!
In a time of 08:31.91min

Congratulations to Alex, who won the Snowboard ranking and Fabi "a.k.a. Junior" who got 3rd on Skiis!

contest week

Last week I started the contest season and went to the 3 star FWQ Engadin snow, which is always one of the best organized and most fun competitions each winter. This year I got the opportunity to start in the Ski Open too, so I was super motivated and wanted to show that I'm able to ski at the same level as the others. In short I wanted to reach the final, so I decided to set everything on one card... Either I stomp that cliff and I'm in, or I crash and I'm out...


So I was really focused on my drop, which had a little flat landing, so I needed to land it as clean as possible and all the power my legs could effort ... So I went of this cliff with good speed to minimize the bomb effect, but it was still a really hard impact (after 12m), which pressed me down for a butcheck, but I came up again and was still on my skis, fighting against the side rotation I got from the landing. For a second it felt like everything went good, but the rotation impulse was so strong, that I got pushed of my skis and started to thumble... f*** :-)

Anyway, there are really impressive mountains around St. Moritz ... the one in the middle is the famous bianco spine of the Piz Bernina.

The day after was the Final on the north face of mount Corvatsch. At the first view the face didn't look that bad, but there was much wind in it and the conditions were changing from icy crusts to compact snow to powder nearly all 20 meters. So you never knew what the next turn would look like... Because ot that I tried to ride safe, fluent and without any bigger drops. But the extremely flat light and the dispersed snow of the heli didn't make it easier... Finally I crashed in the outrun, so my run was nothing special at all...

Next stop was the Fieberbrunn Big Mountain 3 star Qualifier Final. Unfortunately the Open was cancelled, so I didn't got the opportunity to fight for a startingplace on ski. But I was set for the final on snowboard, where I've chosen a steep technical start and a speedy second half. So I managed the technical part pretty good, althought there was not much snow left for me but everything went good, till this medium size drop in the bottom third. I had a good feeling in the air and was sure that I'll stomp it, but when I landed my nose went under the snow and I thumled... so the run was fucked up and I was pretty frustrated in the outrun, I just wanted to get out of there...
In the picture you can see my line drawn in...

Despite of me, Max rode a really good line and won the competition, Congratulations! For more details look at http://maxzipser.com/
... therefore we partied all night long.

... so here is a POV compilation of some small treeruns, the Engadin Open and the Fieberbrunn Final ... enjoy

the pists were no challenge no more, so we were looking for some off pist action

Joiiiiiiiiiiii used his massive kettcar experience and smoothed down like a pro ;-)

... gentlemen start your engines ...
