Colorado trip

My dream came true, I came back to Colorado few years after I have worked for Keystone as a ski instructor. But now I am here to work on my skills, which is soooo awesome!
New skis from Faction, great friends around me, the only thing I miss is my new Orage outerwear, which came just before I left home. Never mind, it will be a Christmas gift when I come home!

Finally getting over jet lag, skiing Breck and Keystone and the weather cant be better.
Here is a picture of me and my little snowboard friend Klaudia standing on top of the Breckenridge kicker line:

And here us excited in front of the ski map:)

I am the new member of Faction Europe Team!

Hello everyone!
Check my online profile on Faction skis website, I am so stoked to be a part of the European team!

Red Bull Art of Can

Thursday there was a special show in Bratislava, the opening of the Red Bull Art of Can exhibition. The exciting part of it was that I was invited to it.
Apart from admiring the art pieces made of Red Bull cans, we have met with our team manager about the Snowgirls project for the upcoming season. New exciting stuff is beeing prepared, looking forward to it!

But the biggest surprise came, when I heard the name of my friend Majkl Velner, he won 2nd place with his art, great job Majkl, congrats!!!
I took a picture of it so you can admire it as well:)

                                                             Majkl's fantastic RB tree

Take care!

Hintertux Trip

Hey there! Winter is really close now and I have been on my first snow trip last week! Sooo excited to be back on snow! Me and Zuzka Stromkova went together with another 10 of our ski and snowboard friends to Hintertux. First day the snowpark wasnt ready at all, only few rails, so we were dissapointed, because we have planned our trip according to the snowpark FB news which said everything is ready. Anyway, the best 2 days were the weekend days, sun was shining and almost no wind made it perfect! So many pros were there killing it, it was cool to ride the same jump as the X Games winners! Two of my snowboard friends got injured and rode a heli back to the hospital, get well soon Zuzka Medlova and Ryba!
Cant wait for the next trip!
Here I am posing with the Imunoglukan supplement which helps me with my imune system, I am not a sicko anymore :)

Me and Zuzka Stromkova taking a picture with Matej Matys, our best slovakian snowboarder.

take care

News reporter

Hey there,
this is probably gonna be funny only for those which understand Slovak.
This monday I went to Bratislava for some Media relations training organized by Slovak ski association and with this occasion, while I was in Bratislava I went to the POME crew headquarters to film the freestyle news.
It was much fun, but at the end I was baked under the strobe lights which were sooooo strong. I was trying to imitate the old reporters from the socialist times when I was little, hope it went out good and people laughed when watching it.
