Norwegian Les Ettes Teamrider Thea Stenshagen has great news!
Saas Fee September
Hello everybody! I’ve just gotten home after a week in Saas Fee, Switzerland. And I can tell you that my season finally has started again. I was there with the B-National team and we had an absolute fantastic week. The park was hard and icy in the mornings, but that just gave me some time in the pipe. I must say that there’s a lot of the technical stuff I have forgotten in the pipe, but we had coaches there to give us some clues, and I felt my riding getting better every day.
Earlier in the week some of the boys had walked up to a place called Michabel Hutte, a cabin almost at the top of one of the mountains at an altitude of 3360 meter above sea level. They said it was sooooo exhausting. We just had to try it for ourselves. So Cecilia Larsen, Maria Jones and I started off. The boys were right, sooo exhausting, but we got to the top and we managed to get down again just before it got dark. We were so proud of ourselves. I’ve also attached a photo that proves that we were on the top.. haha.
And I got some really good news when I got home: I’m finally going to get my first add, yeah. It’s in the next edition of the Norwegian magazine Fri Flyt.
We had the Fri Flyt Awards party this weekend. I was nominated for “Best female snowboarder of the year”. I didn’t win, not surprising. - hehe. I was nominated along with Kjersti Buaas, Lisa Wiik and Helene Olafsen.. Helene won, congratulations!
Take care
Thea
