Our latest film trip got us deep in the unknown part of Balkans. Kosovo is sadly not recognized by high mountains and good backcountry terrain. The resort Brezovica is huge with lifts going up to 2500m, but the down side is that out of nine lifts only two are working. Sadly the conflicts in the past ruined this part.

In Brezovica we were welcomed by Igor Nikolcevic and his family. The food at their Pizzeria Tina was like at home.

Getting us across the hidden mountain spots was another local – Milos Toskic, who came all the way from the business trip in Belgrade to help us out.

To get by, we got a catski operator Dane-Team Brezovica to get us to the top. From there we could reach nearby peak for some lines and search for kicker spots.

All four days there were in good weather and on the diverse terrain we got it all from drops, cliffs, spines, quarters, grass jibs and we even did a big bc kicker.

Check the shots from Katja Pokorn and Domen Bizjak in attachment.

Day 7 of the trip we are all tired out but content. We got into Munich had a night out on the town and then woke up in Austria to our surprise it was snowing. We had two full days of riding the resort of Montafon with deep snow and got some seriously good boarding in. The mountains of Europe are crazy because of the fact that no one rides off the main groomers which leaves pow runs all day. You just take a lift up and then traverse or sometimes just hop off the groomers and its powder which is hard coming from a place where every single death defying line is devoured before you even hop on the lift for your third run. Day three was a beautiful sunny powder day and we had a few jumps in mind and Marco had lined it up so we could hit about 4-5 features in one big bowl. This day was by far an all day slaughterhouse. Next we would spend a down day of weather hitting urban spots up in the mountain towns. So many different spots all lined up and we ended up hitting this dam feature that was the first thing that we laid eyes on when we got to town. Sebi had the urban spots on lock down so we took full advantage. Finally we had another sunny day up at Silveretta Montafon. Epic snowfall and cold dry powder led to some serious slashes and even a couple big mountain lines. Overall this trip was amazing the culture, the people, the mountains and the overall atmosphere that you experience in Austria is second to none. A special thanks to Montafon resort, Marco feichtner and Sebi Gieger for really helping show the crew to the goods. Also a big shout out to everyone, Kristin Cusic, Stephane, Vanessa, Sebi, Sebi, Forest, Ben TJ, Ryan Paul, Atsushi, Mario, Liam, Montafon resort and Hubert of Hubertusklause. Can’t wait to come back maybe going to have to take a break from the land jaegers and cheese for now.
