Seasons first

It is all about getting out - inhale, exhale, being near. We have been there before and we will be back.
Helena is releasing the friction.

View of Hurrungane

Being outside looking in is also nice. With a spectacular blue bird, the view of the peaks in Hurrungane does not get any better.

Chamonix 2012

A magnificent view - the Seracs du Geant gives a very powerful impression! And what a great place to pass by while skiing.

Gaustatoppen 1883 m, 3. April 2011

Leaving the fog in Oslo and Kongsberg behind, Telemark is showing us the front side.

With no wind and the warm sun above, Perry is working the tan.

Even if the snow pack is retracting, the couloirs are pretty good.

After making it through the boulder garden, Perry is opening up the turns, and is really excited about the new swords.

The fog have closed in on the Velan Hut 2642 moh, and the Uno is at play :)
If weather permits we are going for Mount Velan 3731 moh tomorrow. And then continue to the Valsorey Hut.

Ahh.. at last we are moving again after two slow days in Orsieris and Bourg St Pierre. The wet avalanch danger peaked at level 4 yesterday, but came down to 3 today. We started 6.30am this morning in order to get past the danger zones on our way to the Velan Hut.

We were blessed with nice and cold weather while in Chamonix. Overlooking the Val Blanch and Aug du Midi in the background. We skied the Val Blanch and Petit Rognan the day before.

Enjoying our packed lunch below the Seracs du Geant. Our run in the back.

... and so does Colin :)

Thomas is laying out some nice tracks. The snow is great :)

Ahh... perfect!

Chamonix 2010

It's on - the next biggest ski event of the year (you are right, the GT Party is the biggest:)
But now Thomas and I are heading for Cham and lots of skiing above the tree line. And Superspeed II is taking up swiftly across Skagerak.

Nydelig føre oppover Skagadalen

Med utsikt fra Slogen er det er flott ut mot Hjørundfjorden.

Dagens siste lunch.

.... og der var vi på torsdag, Smørskredtind.

Slogen 1564

Dagens tur med start opp for Urke. 5 km inn dalen før toppen kommer til syne.
