In the magazine "planetSnow" i talk about my home skiresort Zermatt.
Next to big names like Willy Bogner for St. Moritz / Kaj Zackrisson for Chamonix / Kevin Rolland for La Plagne or Didier Défago for Portes du Soleil

Text:
Fabian Kronig, Freestyle Pro:
"Zermatt ist an Vielseitigkeit und Schönheit kaum zu übertreffen. Das inmitten von zahlreichen 4000er gelegene Bergdorf bietet alles, was das Wintersportherz begehrt. Ich kenne keinen anderen Ort, der so unendlich viele Möglichkeiten zum Skifahren bietet wie Zermatt:
vielseitige Pisten, tiefe Powder-Runs oder einen stets gut geshapten Freestyle-Park für die jungen Wilden. Und allein der Blick ins weite Rund und aufs Matterhorn lohnt die Bergfahrt. Ich bin stolz darauf, dass ich in einem so aussergewöhnlichen Skigebiet aufwachsen durfte und beinahe jede freie Minute auf meinen Ski verbringen konnte."

Sorry that the text is in german...

Glacier 3000 Invitational

2009-11-13T21:54:00.001+01:00

Blue bird and just a little bit wind. We had to be at the glacier at 9.
One hour training and the competition already started. The kickers where in a good shape, but all the riders had sore muscles from the last 2 days. (5 kickers in a row, and no waiting time at the lift...) :)
Whatever, we where motivated and ready for the Glacier 3000 Invitational.

Just the last 3 kickers counted. The kickers were not really big, means no switch 10. The jury looked more for style and safe landings.
I crashed on my first run. Went to far on the second kicker, landed it perfectly, but couldn`t hold the force on my legs.
On my second run, i did a switch cork 5 japan, cork 9 mute to a switch cork 7 double true tail.
I landed on the last two kickers almost on the base, and had my hands in the snow.
Wasn`t really happy with my performance..
I ended up 9th. 3th best swiss guy, just 3 points behind Andri

All in all, it were great 3 days

Glacier 3000 Invitational

2009-11-12T21:22:00.003+01:00

We had to be at the Glacier at 9 o`clock. Weather sucked pretty bad. It snowed a little and you couldn`t see the landings from the kickers.
The jury decided to wait till 11, in the hope that the sky will clear up. And what a wonder, the sky cleared and the sun came out.
The gust of wind where still a problem, but the organization wanted to do the competition asap.
We had a good half an hour training, before the event started. With the number 21, i was almost the last rider.
19 riders had there first run, after the clouds showed up again. The wind became stronger and we. the last 5 riders, had to wait on the top, in the hope, that the weather will clear up again.
Finally! after 30 minutes freezing my ass, the jury decided to cancel it for today.
Hope for good weather tmr.
wish me good luck

Spot searching and party

2009-11-06T16:00:00.000+01:00

Its already Saturday. Couldn`t ski the last two days. To much wind, rain, snow and whatever...

Weather sucked the last week, hope it will be better for next weeks Glacier 3000 Invitational.

I crashed from Thursday till today at Jannes place in Zweisimmen. What to do, when we can`go skiing was the big question on Friday. We drove from village to village, looking for some sick spots to shoot, when finally the snow is here.
We found some really sick rails, wall rides and kicker spots... can`t really show them to you know..

After a sauna session and some beers, we went out to play some billiard and dart. We ended up drunk in a small freaky bar in Gstaad. That's actually how we always ending, when Janne and me are going out together...
However...

As the weather forecast sad, it rained and the glacier was closed
And now im on my way to luzern, to the "Color Me" premier
next update will be soon
thx

haha :)

Shit weather in Diablerets

2009-11-05T21:21:00.000+01:00

After Tuesday i drove back home to Zermatt. The forecast for Wednesday was crap, so i decided to chill at home, pay some bills and visit some friends.

After a nice day off, i went up early and checked the web cams from Les Diablerets. No fog, a little fresh pow pow and blue bird. I put my stuff together and hit the road at 7.30. I was stoked to go skiing and the weather looked really good on the way to the glacier. (check the pics under the text)
But as i got closer and closer to the small mountain village, the fog came up and it started to snow a little.
We couldn`t jump the kickers, because the fog and wind was to strong. So Janne Van Enkevort, Joel Mooser and me just shredded some rails for around 2 hours.
After a not really exciting ski day, we drove to Francas place, to meet up with JF Houle and Ahmet Dadali.
We had a really nice lunch and talked about our summer stuff and the upcoming season plans.
I couldn`t take more pictures, because my phone died. But i will give my best to show you some more pics and videos in the future

blue bird and no clouds at 8.30

i came closer to Diablerets and the clouds too

Almost there and the weather sucks!

First day in Diablerets

2009-11-03T20:00:00.000+01:00

After yesterdays shooting with Movementskis, i got up early. Checked at first the weather in Diablerets, didn't` look that bad... So i decided to hit the road, to be at 10,from Zürich away, in Les Diablerets.
When i arrived there, the clouds came up and it started to snow down at the station.
You couldn't` see the kickers or even the end of a rail. So i just did some runs at the slopes to get my ski feeling back. After the 5th run and a frozen lens, i decided to go down and drive to Zermatt.

morning view

wind/fog and a small snowstorm

even my ski lift was frozen

Red Bull Zuwachs

2009-11-02T17:27:00.005+01:00

Die Red Bull Familie freut sich erneut über Zuwachs und begrüsst mit 473 ml und 18 cm den bisher grössten Bullen der Herde. Mit dem Grundsatz «mehr drin, mehr drauf» richtet sich die Super Sleek Can an besonders treue Überflieger, die gerne etwas tiefer in die Dose schauen.

Nach der erfolgreichen Einführung der 355 ml Dose erhält der Leitbulle im 250 ml Format nun einen noch grösseren Bruder. Dies im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, denn mit 473 ml ist die neue XXL-Dose die grösste unter den Blau-silbrigen und entspricht damit der gesteigerten Nachfrage nach grösseren Gebinden.

Mehr für weniger
Neben der Herde wächst auch die Fangemeinde der roten Bullen. Immer mehr aktive Menschen, die einen Energieschub brauchen, entscheiden sich für die schlanke Dose. Und dies immer öfter. Mittlerweile zählen bereits 40% aller Red Bull Konsumenten in der Kernzielgruppe zwischen 15-29 Jahren zu den so genannten Heavy Usern und lassen sich regelmässig vom roten Bullen beflügeln. Ein Kundensegment, welches nicht nur gerne, sondern auch gerne ein wenig mehr pro Konsumation trinkt. Mit dem neuen Format wird Red Bull diesem Trend gerecht und bietet allen Sportlern, Autofahrern, Managern etc. in Zeiten erhöhter Anstrengung eine zusätzliche Portion Energie.

Die Red Bull Super Sleek Can ist erhältlich bei » Migros, » Manor, » Spar, » Volg, bei Kiosken und Tankstellen zum Preis von CHF 3.30 bis 4.90.

RED BULL

2009-10-30T14:08:00.007+01:00

Red Bull stood on my program today...

There office is based in Baar, right next to Zug. There lobby is equipped with a small Red Bull car, which looks really sick.

Flo, the man behind the Team, told my about the Red Bull events this season. A few new projects are on there list. There pushing the freestyle scene extreme and doing an unbelievable job.
Next time you need a energy push, buy a Red Bull instead a cheap budget one. So you can help all the athletes being sponsored and keep up there game and make all kind of Red Bull events possible.

Car is packed for an energy push by night shootings

Meetings and soccer game

2009-10-28T23:34:00.001+01:00

I been running around Zürich city today. Had a few meetings with sponsors and shops.

We talked about the upcoming season. My winter plans and there new products.
Checked our timetables for a few meetings in the winter time, product testing, shootings , events and much more. I think its going to be a really exciting and busy season... But after a mellow summer time, is that exactly what i need.

Ad lunch time, my brother called me, and had the idea watching a soccer game in Aarau tonight. After spending f*** 1.50 minutes in the freaking Zürich traffic, i finally made my way to the soccer station. Its been my first live soccer game since almost 10 years! Aarau vs Sion played, and of course i was for Sion, as a real "Walliser".
To my bad, the game sucked as hell. O - O was the ultimate result.

Anyway, i had a good time with my brother and his roommates...

Jesus was a Skier!:)

2009-10-27T19:55:00.003+01:00

"TWIN" from poland with love

2009-09-29T21:52:00.010+02:00

The 3 edition from the magazine "TWIN" came out last wknd on the freestyle.ch. We can almost talk about a Movement special Twin edition.. Carim Bouzenada was to see on the cover. Thomas had an Interview and from myself was a story about my trip to Poland on 5 pages.

"FROM POLAND WITH LOVE"

First stop was the Rienerhorn in Davos. Fresh pow, over 1200 altitude difference, sunshine and a big smile on my face. It was just a perfect day to start our trip to Poland, with a few stops in Austria.

The next 3 days, we crashed in St.Anton by the ski legend Skye Darden in the line chalet. We skied powder lines all day long with the two professional riders Tina Huber and Eva Walkner.

We stopped to ski, when the lifts where closed. Went for a quick dinner and jumped back in the car, looking for some sick spots for a night shooting. Normally we came home at like 1 o`clock from the night shooting. totally wet and tiered, but happy about the shoots we did.

After 3 awesome days in Austria we set off to Poland. After 10 hours driving, (we drove through Czech Republic instead Slovakia, thx to my GPS) we finally arrived in Poland.

The polish open was great. A lot a international top riders showed up.
The night before the main event, I could win the Sony Rail session,stoked...!:)

I ended up 5th on the main event (not 7th how it stood in the mag!!)

After the riders dinner, a few beers and just 2 hours of sleep... we had to hit the road again. Munich, the ISPO was on our time table... again a long wknd with crazy stories and parties...:)

For the whole stories check the TWIN mag, you get it in almost every snowboard shop for free!!

Water ramp and a broken finger

2009-09-24T18:15:00.001+02:00

After our "excited" Wednesday, we finally came my second car key.
We drove to Mettmenstetten and had an awesome day on the two trampolines and the different water ramps. double back flips, kangaroos and flat spins all forms were to see.

I never thought i would say that you can break something on a water ramp, but it happened.
I didn't came around on a back flip double true nose and crashed. My ski catapulted directly on my hand. The result - 1 broken finger. But hey, I will be back on skis on Wednesdays... just whiteout poles for a few days:)

3 swollen fingers -- which one could be broken?!!:)

We didnt film a lot. no one wandet to, was just to much fun...
enjoy it
thx soon

2009-09-23T18:00:00.000+02:00

Hello,

that was quite an exhausting week (-end).

On thusday evening we, Fabi, Yannic an me, drove to zürich, we were all really excited cause we planed to go to the watherramps the next day. But it all came out different as we thought. In the morning, we all were kind of still sleeping. The car was full with our skiing stuff, then i slammed the back dor down and...the key stayed in the car...ahhh! We searched and found luckely a mechanic, but he couldnt help us...f****** old ford mondeo! So we had to spend the whole day in town...we went shopping and chilling at the "beach". After a nice dinner we had the glorious idea to start a own created drinking game---> drinking yatzy. We had a lot of fun... (blog created by janne -- janneski.blogspot.com)

the new world famous yatzy game!!:)

Yannic the big winner of the night

Yannic and me cant stop laughing... thanks to janne:)

Fabian K Signature Ski by Movement

2009-09-08T20:07:00.005+02:00

hope you guys had a good weekend

i just want to show you my signature ski for the upcoming winter season.
I worked on this design together with the movement designer Michel.

One ski shows the bad aspect from the world. With the big factory on the base and all the smoke is coming out if it. Death bird on the tree...

The other ski should show you, how the world could be, if you just help keep our planet clean and recycle.

For those who at the freestyle.ch. please just step by at the Movementskis stand.
I will be hanging around there all weekend long. You can see all new Movement products and I am pleased to help you out with all kind a questions!
