Vanessa in Montafon

I was suppose to make a trip in the Pyrenees but it was canceled last minute, i didn’t even had time to find an other option that i’ve got a phone call from Tyler Chorlton that asked me to come shooting with him and Marco Feichtner in Montafon. The day after i was in my car driving back to Austria.

In 2 weeks we only had few good weather days, the snow was good but it was really dangerous for avalanches so we hit a safty spot the first day, the next good weather day we shaped a kiker in backcountry and on Tyler’s first try half of the lending slide down but the session keep on going and they all got some tricks.

The last day was still dangerous and the guys hiked up a spot shaped a kiker and heard 2 cracks, all the area around the kiker was ready to slide down, so they decided not to hit it and was the best solution, no need to die for few shots.

While i was in Montafon, i had my 30th birthday the 2nd march, hard to accept that i’m already 30, time goes so fast, it’s been 10 years since i’ve made my first picture, but when i’m looking back, i don’t have any regret, i’ve just been enjoying every moment.

Enough for the psychology part, let’s talk about my birthday party. It was such a great party, every body was so much into having fun and getting wasted, my 2 friends Margot Rozies and Lisa Filzmoser that were in Montafon as well join us, the  AC bar just opened for us and few bottles of champagne were drunk.

Everything was perfect except a little slide on the dance floor that makes me fall down and twist my ankle, i knew strait away that was really bad but i just keep on enjoying the party, the day after i’ve got a nice surprice when i dicover my ankle, was twice bigger than normally. Hard to believe than with my job and what i’m doing every day i could get hurt on a dance floor, but shit happen and i’m not 20 anymore.

To close this event i wanted to thanks all my friends that offered me a surf board for this summer, it’s such a nice present, i can’t wait to see it and try it and crash with it….

And thanks to Paco for the party’s pictures.
