Enamiku mägiperede unistused on seotud sügava armastuse ja kire jagamisega samade spordialade vastu. Whisky ja tema poeg pole erand. Nende loos süvendab see kirg isa ja poja sidet: Whisky on õpetaja, kes tutvustab pojale oma puuderlumiste kodumägede kogu võlu.

Inglite mägi: kohalik freeride-sari

Pole juhus, et Engelberg tähendab 'Inglite mäge'. Šveitsi freeride'i mekka on üle maailma tuntud oma võimsate laskumiste, stabiilse lumesaju ja legendaarse mägikultuuri poolest. Viie kohaliku osa sarjas räägime oma inglitest. Kuus freeride-suusatajat jagavad meiega oma elu – igaühel neist on selle paigaga ainulaadne side, isiklikud kogemused, oskustase ja lähenemine.

Viski kohta

Ta tunneb neid kõiki – nii suuri ja pikki laskumisi kui ka peidetud kohti. Patrick Ambühl ehk Whisky on elanud aastaid Engelbergis ja tunneb piirkonda nagu oma viit sõrme. Tema elu on viimastel aastatel üsna palju muutunud: Freeride World Touri punktide asemel kogub andekas suusataja nüüd koos perega mägedes mälestusi. Whisky on võtnud oma elueesmärgiks anda oma suusatamise kirg ja rõõm edasi lastele. Kuid kui lihtne on järgida oma unistusi ja eesmärke ning olla samal ajal hea isa? Filmiintervjuus räägib Whisky, kuidas ta seda kõike tasakaalus hoiab.

“Kui
sul
on
lapsed,
muutub
sinu
elu
ja
nii
ka
suusatamine.”

Üksinda laskumisest perega sõitmiseni: kuidas laste saamine Whisky suusatamist muutis

Mammut

What style of skiing do you prefer?


WhiskyPatrick Ambühl

I'm 43 years old, and I've skied probably 40 years of my life. I think my skiing is a bit old school. I like doing small drops, backflips or 360s. I love all types of skiing – piste, park skiing, but the best skiing is freeriding in deep powder. Out with friends, with family. That's the best part.

Has your attitude towards taking risks changed since you had children?


WhiskyPatrick Ambühl

Yes, it has changed. When you have kids, your life changes, and so does your skiing. It's important to come back home at night. You tend to say more often that it's not worth the risk and choose a different line. Before having a family, I took higher risk, for sure. Now, when I go up and when I'm not fully sure, I head home. The risk just isn't acceptable anymore. I can ski so much every year, every day if I want. I have a super nice job, I don't mind skipping that one line. I can try again tomorrow or next week.

In this episode of our series, you ski with your son Niklas. How does it feel to see him growing up on skis? 


WhiskyPatrick Ambühl

I like it a lot to see my kids growing up and learning how to ski, getting better and better. I like to teach them step by step. Niklas is learning backflips at the moment. We started on the trampoline in a sports school, and then we went out. I think next year he’s got it. It’s super cool to see him progressing. I think he learned a lot from me. He has the same style. He makes the same turns, and the way he places his pole in the snow. And I’m super happy to see this. It’s like a mini-me. 

Mammut

Do you also teach him about snow safety? 


WhiskyPatrick Ambühl

Yes, he learns about the snow every day when we go up. The most important thing for us is that we ski with a good feeling. Niklas sees the snow in the morning, and when we’re out together, I teach him what we do and why. A big part of it is to let him make decisions. But I always make sure that it's safe for us.

üldse.”

Mammut

Before you had kids, you used to ski a lot for yourself. Do you still get to ski as much? 


WhiskyPatrick Ambühl

It’s different. I can ski by myself early in the morning, and with my family in the afternoon. And yes – the best part is skiing with my family. With little Joya who is now four years old, my son Niklas, and my wife Sonja. We do three or four runs, go home to change clothes, and grab a drink in the ski lodge. That's a perfect day for me. I still like skiing for myself, but it’s different. When the whole family skis together in one place, I think that is the best thing ever.
