It’s been a few years now since I spent the winter in Alagna Italy filming for Down Films first ever snowboard film called Toast that was released in 1996. The film was filmed and put together by Ruben Östlund, now famous director of numerous swedish great films, and the result was one of the first swedish snowboard movies ever made. This was also the time when I started to get more and more interested in photography and these snaps were taken with my little Olympus XA that I always kept with me.
