| Flat3 over Skoda Yeti |
After sunny spring days at Absolut park, temperatures dropped and we got a nice package of powder. For the first time, since we're skiing in Flachauwinkl, we hiked to the top of the mountain. It was one of the most steep terrains i have ever hiked with my skis, but it was totally worth it. Skiing my own line down the mountain in almost waist deep snow was awesome.

On saturday me, Tom, Anja and Nik went to ski slope "Celjska koča" for a rail jam. They have only 10 centimeters of snow, but they prepared a really fun course to ride and however, so big respect to organizators and to everyone who made this event possible iin such bad snow conditions. The course started with a straight box, flat-down tube, than a down rail next to the flat-down box and a small kicker with gap for a car on the end. First we had two qulification runs, i did my run with sw 270 on/blind 270 off straight box, lip slide frontside sw up to sw on down tube, sw on/frontside 450 off downrail and than flat3 with double japan grab on the kicker. First eight riders from qualies advanced to the next part of the contest, which was a head to head battle. Cause i qualified as first i drew lots first and i raffled off Damijan Gobec. I won and for the next opponent i got Luka Plevnik. He had some bad luck in both runs, so i simply managed it to finals with my friend Tom Krznar. I screwed my first run in finals, Tom did it great and it was 1:0 for him. I landed my second run perfectly and it was a tie. Because the judges didn't score any of our runs in finals, we had to go back up and do another run. Tom started first, he did 540 on first box, sw lip on down tube, 270 on down rail and 540 with mute grab on the kicker and because of this i simply chose the "safe" run, without 450 off down rail, cause i thought, it will be enough for the win. But at the end judges made a decision that Tom was better and i ended up on the 2nd place. Congrats to Anja and Tom for the 1st place, to Nik for the 3rd place and as well to all other riders that came to the event. Contest was great, i got a lot of new experiences and now i know that i have to show my best run everytime if i'm going for win or good result.

Last time i unfortunately haven't checked the weather forecast before we headed to Flachauwinkl and i left my powder skis, made by Sense at home, but now i'm back here in our "base" with these skis and i can't wait for the new package of fresh powder in next days.
