Name: Tobias Granath Age: 29 Family: Girlfreind, two kids(Malin,Louis,Ella) Work: Retired hockeyplayer, Chamonix Hockey Club 04-08. HC Mont Blanc l'Avalanche 08-09. Military service: Swedish Army's Parachute Ranger Training School in Karlsborg, Sweden (Fallskärmsjägarskolan FJS)Why Chamonix? I always been a man of sports and nature and to combine different types of sports I soon realized that Chamonix with its surroundings was the perfect place to be. Why this homepage? This homepage is made for mountainlovers and for those who enjoy sports and adventure activities. Here you will find photos and reading about skiing, mountaineering, trail-running and more. Maybe I can inspire some to get out more? Why hockey? I have been playing since childhood. Fantastic team-sport, physical, tactical, lots of adrenaline. It gives you the opportunity to kick somebody’s ass without ending up in jail; you just receive 2min in the penalty box...The best game on earth. Why trailrunning? Noble sport, pure simple, good exercise... Knowledge about how your body works together with your mental mind. "Finisher" on Ultra Trail du Montblanc on 43h, 158km, +8500m. I'm never gonna stop running... Why backcountry skiing? I came to Chamonix as a skibum February year 2000. I discovered freeride skiing at Brévant, Flégère, Grands Montets… I ended up competing in a bigmountain competition at Riksgränsen 2004. Late April 2005 I did my first skitour... Probably I just love to be out there. A blend of fresh air and silence, workout, beautiful mountains and off course excitement skiing...
