First time cross-country skiing ...

First time skiing and the market



A cat has nine lives ...

Although the shop was closed on Sunday it was no problem to rent ski's, poles and shoes. Just have a phone call and the shop manager will come and you get your gear.


Just arrived at home I was put the ski's under my feet and skied my first little tour. Not like in our Ardennes where there are nice pre-prepared tracks but almost directly cross-country skiing. Every time I fell down Christoffer said I lost a live. During our tour I fall down seven times so … I survived my first lesson on a two hour skiing tour.



2012 historiska vintermarknad invigning.

At 17.00 to 17.30 the historical market was opened with a speech and a torch-walk towards the heritage center garden where a kind of a service was held with choir
singing. It was a fine experiance walking together with the other people. Some were playing in the snow. It was fun.
