Ski Major Robby Franco Update

After Excelent Soldiers Big Air competition in Czech Republic. I hopped on the flight over to Iceland! 

We landed in the southern section of Iceland and had it rented a car to drive to the northern section. We had a beautiful drive up the coast of Iceland to the northern section and arrived in our town of destination Akuryeri.

The first day we got to the town we just had a chill down day and check out the scenery! The second day we went on a tour of the northern section of the country. The tour us took us to five different resorts to go skiing in one day and check out some little towns! Iceland is an amazing and beautiful country! It consist of very dramatic terrain with a huge variety of foods. One of the few places I have ever been where all the food I tried was excellent.

The third day we had practice and skied the first section of the day on the course and the second half of the day we went cat skiing! The weather wasn't its best, but we made the most of it. The terrain in Iceland has some very steep mountains that funnel straight to the ocean!

The following day we had the competition. The weather was quite challenging and had 40-80 mph gust with very flat like conditions. Conditions caused for them to do the first three rails of the course and only one jump. The other two jumps were closed due to safety.


It was a great experience to ski the mountain and compete out here in Iceland! As well as getting to experience the culture and nightlife of Iceland.

Now that the competition has finished the next stop is European open in Laxx, Switzerland! Will keep you posted on how I do!
