Matthias Haunholder: His Austrian Crew & Film Project

Needless to say, one of the intriguing sights in Squaw Valley during the Nissan Tram Face was the RV parked outside the staff house that disappeared every morning to return every evening. The mysterious visitors were no other than Matthias Haunholder and his crew. After spending the first night with no heat in freezing temperatures, they found electricity at our humble abode.

Reine Barkered, the Swedish outsider that took the FWT09 by storm might just a have a few surprises left up his sleeve…

Reine grew up in the Swedish town of Duved, just a few miles from Åre, so for him, skiing simply came naturally. He was an Alpine racer until the age of 16. He got back into the skiing scene when some friends of his convinced him to take part in the Swedish and Scandinavian Big Mountain Championships 2004. In the first comp, he crashed, then took 10th in the second comp. These comps became a tradition where he would meet up with his friends and just have fun.
