It’s the second annual VIMANA team meeting but it already feels like a long tradition.
Back on July 20th, Markku Koski brought his fellow Finnish team mates Saku Tiilikainen and Aapo Enqvist to Norway.
Fredrik Austbo met the guys in Oslo and along with our photographer, Marius Svendsen, they hit the long road to Folgefonna.
Thomas Iversen and filmer Lowe Andersson came in from the north and brand manager Tronna brought our friend Steef Van Der Meer from the Netherlands.
The destination was Folgefonna and the legendary Ghost House. A house that has been untouched since the late 50s.
For one week we would shred, test prototypes, eat good food and talk about the future. By now the VIMANA crew feels tight like a family. Everybody brings something different and positive to the crew.
We where honoured when Sasha Zeller and Klaus Zenker joined us. Sasha, along with three friends as the Swiss connection with world-class fondue, and Klaus from the Templeton posse as our loose cannon and 24/7 pep talker.
Together we had a week of rain, fog, gourmet meals, bonfires, dark Mexican songs and good times.
Enjoy the gallery, and stay tuned for the edit dropping Monday.
