Hi everyone,

Since a bit less than a week, I landed in Santiago, Chile. Despite the spring conditions, the snow layer is here, and mountains of Chile are still great to go shred =) ! During the last days, the resort of El Colorado, Chile, hosted the first stop of the Freeskiing World Tour.

I decided to take part to this comp, and I have to say everything’s happened well ! I finished second, I was crown “SickBird” (best line of the comp). (more…)

Hi All,

Just a quick one to let you know how happy I am !!

I just checked that on the weather forecast – looking all good.

I’m landing in Santiago de Chile  the 18th, early morning !! hiha !!

Some updates coming during August & September,

Greetz,

Mati

Hi all,

A quick update from the Freeride World Qualifier “El Dorado Freeride” in Andorra. After beeing 3rd last year, I just sticked to my line and won the 2010′s edition. Second comp, second podium & only one word to resume the situation (= STOKED =) !! Check out the little edit of the Finals run !!

Some more news SOON,

Greetz for Andorra,

Happy Mati =)

Mati finished 2nd at the Engadin Snow Freeride, only 0,2 points to win !!

After being thru the qualification, I just had one objective: Get down Corvatch on a solid a fluid run.

Things are done =) With more than 6 cliffs and a full speed run, I ended up with a big smile, proving I sticked my line as I wanted to do it.

A victory on the Slopestyle, a 2nd place at the Freeride, that was a big weekend for the Amplid Cartel down in Engadin.

Winter keeps going, y que viva el Amplid Research Cartel !!

Hi All,

Here is a little resume of what happens for the future of skiing:

The Red Bull LineCatcher.

Pimp a freeride face with kickers, use naturals features, everything is accepted as soon as you throw tricks into your run!

Candide won for his come back into comps, and I ended up 9th with  big big names of the Freeski on the startlist!

Everybody really enjoyed the perfects conditions in Vars, Fr.

I’m now shooting some big prods, such as PBP or SVP   ;)

I give some news soon =)

Hi all!!

A quick one to present you the RedBull Line Catcher 2010, in Vars, FR. I confirmed my participation to this event, and wanted to present you the concept. “Send some tricks in the middle of a Big Mountain venue” … Easy, isn’t it ??? I would say that this kind of event represents the next level of Skiing !! Enjoy the teaser ;-) right here !! Greets, Mati.

…That was the few words my friends asked to me before my trip down South America… “Don’t forget, when you have time… Drop me a line!!”…
Here it comes!
They were probably not thinking about the same “line”… but that’s my only way to write down on a paper!!

Enjoy =)
