We are getting closer to the kick off for Nordic Masters 2008..
The first riders from france have already arrived in sälen and the snow just keeps on dumping.
The entire snowkite elite has registerred, followed by a number of photographers, and everything looks as if it will be a great event.The newest gimmick is, that on friday there will be an outdoor movieshow at Högfjället, on a HUGE wall of snow showing the new Horton movie..
The dinner and party at HC on saturday is going to be awesome with all the riders and spectators gathering, and we just received the prices for the Nordic Masters from our sponsors.. The prices for the 4 categories have a total value of over 40.000 swedish kronas!!!Today we transported the last rails by snowmobiles to the top, a 2*6meter flat rail and tomorrow we start shaping the area for the chefs BBQ. Because of unusual amounts of snow we have to additionally build up the kickers giving the riders some good airtime.
Due too the riders high level we also decided to call in some help from the Park Chief from Lillehammer, Norway who will help us making the competition area extraordinary.
See you all soon..

How do you get the worlds best riders to come to a “no wind” event!!
In a weird way, when spectators decided to stay home, the Nordic Masters still manages to attract the snowkite elite, media and photographers although the wind forecast is somewhat bad.
So the answer must be to have the BEST atmosphere of all contests… and always have backup activities in case the wind doesn’t deliver..There was no wind during the Nordic Masters but the top of Högfjället was perfectly rigged with good atmosphere, food, music, chill out area, and a slopestyle area that could work as a snowpark in any small resort.
But having the snowkite elite ready and anxious to play standing in front of a playground of obstacles.. We decided to bring a snowmobile as replacement for the wind, pulling the competing riders to the jumps and rails.
this worked perfectly as a heat since the wind stayed out.The session was heavy with sweet music and spectators chilling in the sun. Sigve Botnen, Petter Johnsen and Claes Lundin deliverred as always with their sweet wakestyle, clearly showing what guys have been training on water, but new for this year was the young Andreas Toverud who impressed everyone be pulling of backflips on the large kicker and a HUGE railey after the snowmobile.
Just like the hip-hop music kept flowing from the speakers, Kevin Steen from the US showed off incredible layed back ghetto style on his phat K2 Hellbrents.Check out http://www.nordicsurfers.com/isurf/ for more info on the winners of Nordic Masters and pictures
