Team photoshooting in Chamonix, camping and testing gear.

Team members Félix Hentz  and Patrik Lindqvist ( photographer) went out camping high above Chamonix with  for a great sunset and sunrise photoshoot and some night skiing.

Paul Siljama

Been living in and out of Cham now for some years, which has taught me to become a better skier.

Exploring new places is one of the most fun dimensions in freeskiing. It's not always about getting the best pow but about being creative and finding lines wherever - in the mountains or on hills, big or small and to be able to bring your own style into it.

Patrik Lindqvist

Capturing images from some of most famous mountain play-grounds is a 'dream job' for Patrik...

Envy and admiration aside, Patrik back up this need to be around blg-mountain action, with dedication, organization and commitment to be one step ahead of his subjects… frozen fingers or not. "If I have to climb mountains and sleep overnight in a tent at -20 degree... so be it. It's a beautiful world out there and I will forever strive to capture it".

His work appears in numerous magazines, and with his life settled in Chamonix, Patrik is set to explore further into expanse of the Mont Blanc range, but also into the lives of people who call this rugged mountain settIng their home.
