Where is Les Ettes Snowboarder Lisa Filzmoser?

Traveling

After the rad Elan-Chicas shoot in Italy beginning of March I went to Salt Lake City to film for STANCE. You can watch our teaser on

Spring time conditions and slush is what we found in the back country. We built this huge step up kicker for two days. It was a 45 min hike to get there every day. On the third day we tried our best to hit the jump with as much speed as we could, but it didn't work. The compression just through us weird on to the deck and sometimes we even knockled. Three days of really hard work for nothing but beat ups - but we were still laughing about it.


From there I went to Selkirk Wilderness with the Helly Hansen Team. This is a cat boarding operation in interior BC. An amazing place! We got some freshies during the week and had a lot of fun riding through the trees and pillows followed by amazing dinners and food in the cat. I am not sure if we burned all that calories during the week. Our new HH team member JP Solberg had bought some fireworks on the way. They helped us to do some 007 spion stuff and lighting up some dead trees.


After this highlight I went to June Mt. to attend Ms Superpark by Snowboarder Magazine and to hang out with my lovely Euro girls Conny, Julia, Diana, Sarka, Silka and Cecilia. The Chicken Jam was one day delayed so I spontaneously decided to take part too. It was a fun course and I was happy with my riding. For Ms Superpark we had a fun set up. I liked the hip and the quarter the most. And we had a rad party at Lakanuki too. Free drinks and fun dancin!





Next stop was Salt Lake City again. I had three sunny days of filming with Raewyn Reid. Unfortunately the powder there got pretty baked. But we still did a lot of stuff: One day we built a sick kicker and hit some pillows and drops. Another day we had a hip and a little back flip kicker. That day it went from ice crust to heavy summer slush during the day. But it was fun and productive so we were happy.
