Melshornet on Boxing Day

I had originally planned on starting early, but I kinda overslept :) It was a cold day, -16 or so, but still it was a nice trip.









































I got home just in time to go to grandma`s surprise Boxing Day dinner-party with lots of family. It was fun too (no pics I`m afraid) !

What`s cooking? It smells DELICIOUS :)

Christmas Eve 2010 - beautiful and cold outside

Oh yes...today it has been snowing like crazy all day, so I just had to go to Bondalseidet! I kinda knew what to expect, but 40-50 cm is a lot in just 12 hours. I thought my skis could handle it, but it was kinda limited experience as they kept steering down in the huge amounts of fresh powder..so I had 3 ugly falls. I landed in soft snow, so I didn`t hurt myself or anything, but on one occasion I had to dig deep for one of my skis :)

I wish I could have a video from today..but I don`t have the equipment to video so....

Tomorrow I have to take a break from skiing, as I have been skiing 3 days in a row. My grandparents have invited me over for sourcream-porridge, one of my favorites..so I couldn`t say no of course! Some of my cousins who are studying in various places are now home for Christmas, so it will be fun to see them there! (Oh, how I envy students for their long vacations!!!!!!).

I have found a couple of "new" bands that I have listened a lot too lately...and I like having music on my ear when I am skiing and exercise in general. If you are interested in expanding your music-library, check out The Low Frequency in Stereo, Kasabian and Muse (the latter is kinda famous already, I know, it just took me a while to find out how good they are :))

December...and it is freeeezing cold....

Brrr...for the past ten days it has been freezing cold here with temperatures as low as -17! It hasn`t snowed in this period, so I hope it will change soon so we get lots of snow for Christmas!







I did go skiing on Saturday and Sunday, and it was a refreshing experience :)
I`ll have to decide whether or not to go tonight, but it is so much fun, so I`ll probably go skiing for an hour or two.

I`m planning on taking a day or two off this coming weekend, so I can make it a "mini-vacation". It has been really hard to get up in the morning and go to work this week. So, hopefully a couple of extra days off will give me some extra energy!
Also, I have to buy Christmas-gifts... I am not looking forward to go shopping!
