The world

Another snowy day with no sunshine but we have been skiing all day anyway.

Today we had lunch in the middle of the slopes at a really cozy little inn. Their goulash was famous and I can understand why. But they didn’t want to give me the recipe..

A new day – new challenges! Much better snow today and my body felt slightly better after a resting day. It has been snowing off and on all day and when we got up to the top it was quite windy too. 14m/sec (31 miles/hr). But I managed two rides down before lunch! Yeah!

Our snowboarder decided to switch to skis for a couple of days to get a new challenge. We had a great day in the slopes today.

A really bad ski-day for all of us – it was warm and a bit rainy so the snow was really heavy and wet. I gave up after a few minutes and the rest gave up after an hour or two. We went down to Trysil for lunch and a treat to bring back for the afternoon tea. Tonight our birthday boy chose bowling for the family and he beat us all the first round. The second round his brother took the gold medal. It was a good birthday I think. Let’s hope it will get colder tomorrow so the skiing experience will be better!

Another snowy day but today I managed three times down the whole hill before lunch!

The lift is about 2 km long! Each run takes almost 30 min and my muscles burn pretty bad after a while. My body will be sooo sore tomorrow.

Got up early and enjoyed a hotel breakfast – then the two most eager skiers went out ahead of me and my oldest and then we joined them when we were ready. I am so proud of myself – rode the whole hill (blue/green one I know) but I am so out of practice that was enough for me for a first day. Now we are relaxing a bit while the eager skiers are out there for another couple of hours..

Traveled all day and stopped for a coffee where this amazing goat was keeping an eye on us. Now safely checked in at our hotel in Trysil.

Let the fun begin!

My youngest has his birthday next week – 15 years old – but since we will be away we had invited our family over tonight for a coffee and cake. I had ordered a special cake for him and it was a success!

Last day at work for a week – a vacation is just what we need right now. All four of us are really tired and in the need of a change of environment and focus. Maybe spring has arrived when we get back from our ski trip. That would be great.

My youngest is a happy son today – they have opened an American donut place in Skärholmen – DonkinDonuts – with extra color on everything. They opened their first place north from Stockholm a while back and this is their second, and it is right next to where we live.

So, one 6-pack of colorful goodies later we arrived back home and enjoyed them with some hot tea!
Hmm.. I wonder which kinds we will try next time!?
