update from the past week…

…here are some impressions from the trip to Switzerland…

2nd to 7th January 2010

We arrived in Zinal late in the evening (Saturday, 2nd January 2010) – traffic jam all over Austria and Switzerland… I guess it was the most busy traffic day in the year;-) …driving there – was just awesome as the sky was clear, the stars shining – saw Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau on the way there…:-)

Stayed at a awesome chalet in Zinal, very “urig”;-) and met Giulia, Laura and Yves (photographer) the next morning to go shooting and filming. The weather wasn’t that good, we did some filming and shooting but not that much that day…

Sunday afternoon… 1h drive from Zinal to Verbier… such a cool place!!! …stayed in two rooms above the bar where Laura used to work… we could stay there for free – awesome!!! …didn’t get that much sleep for those days as the music was going on until 2 a.m….;-(

Monday morning… Coffee time and working on the story for the film…

Lifestyle filming in Verbier…

Hut evening and sliding down the mountain in the middle of the night… Soooo much fun 🙂 Giulia went for it, straightline down with her skibob… powder, yeah… 🙂

Quick breakfast at the bakery – beautiful view from that place!!!, met Giulia and Laura at the cable car, photographer Yves Garnau is with them again, some warming up powder turns, splitting the groups, I stayed with Lori, Laura and Matthias, filming some lines, good conditions, accident of Matthias – he lost his ski, fell and the camera got kissed by the snow;-(, searching for a outdoor toilet at the top station of the cable car;-)… shooting with Yves, good light, some great pix, skied down at 16.30 – were sooo lucky that we caught the last gondola, back at our rooms, chilling dinner at a very nice restaurant, beer at the bar, watching some skivideos together… 🙂

Quick breakfast again, Start at 8.30 a.m., skiing with Giulia and Lori, Kenny is with us, awesome weather again, not a very productive day…

Filming morning, very cold, just one face, takes ways to long…

Leaving back to Austria in the late afternoon…:-)

…in Verbier till 2morrow with the skigirls and the filmcrew. Had some beautiful days, were really lucky with the weather and got some great pix and film lines… Pix should be following the next days…

…will write an update the next days about how it was in Verbier… soooo tired as I haven’t slept that much;-) …hard work on the mountain…

good night – sleep tight;-)

have a great day!!! Mel:-)

Hei, hei to everybody!!!

Hope you had a great New Year’s Eve… I wish all of you HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!!!

I got a call from Sandy yesterday… It’s on… We are leaving 2day to go to Verbier and Zinal in Switzerland, starting filming and shooting with the girls… 🙂 Wohooooo, sooooo excited!!!

Drove to Ibk in the morning, the traffic was horrible… Oh man, soooo many tourists on the way, max. speed till Kitzbühel – 40 km/h… Because of 1cm snow on the road… 😉 Silly me, in KB I realized that I forgot sth… Sth really important;-)… My skiboots…hehe… soooo stupid… I called home but we considered that it’s easier to go to Ibk and not back as the traffic was just sooo bad… Good that I have another pair in Ibk;-)…

A new adventure is on… Wow!!!! Filming for a Freeskimovie with just girls – one of my dreams – now it’s not a dream anymore!!! It’s becoming true!!! Wish us luck that we have good weather and good conditions!!!

I don’t know if I will have Internet access there… but I will try to keep u updated how everything is going…

All the best for now, enjoy the day!!!!

Mel:-)
