Skiing at the "high way"

Cross country skiing is a popular recreational activity in Norway, but we don’t have many places with this many skiing tracks side by side. Now the competition “Birkebeineren” was just arranged here recently, so tracks were prepared for the thousands that participated. My oldest brother included, once again winning the “medal of honor”.

Langrenn er en populær rekreasjonsaktivitet I Norge, men vi har ikke mange steder med så mange skisport side om side som her. Nå var imidtertid ”Birkebeiner rennet” nettopp arrangert her, så løypene var forberedt de tusner som deltok. Deriblant min eldste bror som nok en gang tok ”Birkebeinermerket.”

Barbequing hot dogs

Skiing in the spring in Norway, when the temperature is quite comfortable, often goes hand in hand with some sun tanning, and heating some hot dogs on the fire.

Og vi griller pølser, nam hvor gode Prior Kalkunpølser er (dette er ikke reklame, jeg skriver om ting som har hendt meg).

Kazakstan - ski trip (end jaun

Getting a Visa to Kazakstan, and even getting onto the plane was quite an ordeal. And only due to connections for Visa, and a lot of persistence for the airplane we finally was on our way, here to enjoy a half a liter local beer in Air Astana. Veslemøy was upgraded to business class ticket because the plane was full. These photos are from a skiing trip 2 months ago.

Å skaffe visa til Kasakstan, og selv det å komme seg om bord flyet var litt av en prøvelse. Bare på grunn av gode forbindelser for Visaet, og for å ”stå på krava” for å borde flyet, kom vi oss endelig av gårde, her på bildet for å nyte en lokal halvliter ombord i Air Astana. Veslemøy, som var uten for Kina for første gang, ble oppgradert til Business class fordi flyet var fullt. Bildene er 2 måneder gamle.

Our perfect host, Mukan

We were lucky to have a good friend and “problem solver” accompanying us much of the time. Kazak, Mukan was my classmate autumn of 2006, at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. He showed us around and fixed things that gave us experiences we impossibly could have had without him, for example he organized it so we had a car with a driver at our disposal.

Vi var heldige som hadde en god venn og “problem løser"som var rundt med oss mye av tiden. Kazakstanske Mukan var min klassekamerat høsten 2006, på Shanghai Uiniversitetet for Finans og Økonomi. Han viste oss rundt og ordnet ting som ga oss opplevelser som vi umulig kunne ha hatt dersom uten han, for eksemple organiserte han en bil med sjåfør til vår rådighet.

The skating dome

Medeo, highest above the ocean level of its kind.

Medeo, en svær skøytebane, og verdens høyeste over havet.

Sudden from behind

Unexpectedly comes this funny guy (me), from behind these two familiar ice skaters, that have a hard time even standing up.

Uventet kommer denne morrogutten (meg), bakfra mellom disse familiære skjøterne, som har det hardt nok selv med å stå oppreist ;)

Reaching the top

3. Take the trip to the top, we thought about continuing up slope by foot where the ski lift stopped but we dropped it. All in all, it was not enough snow to “go crazy”.

3. Vi tar turen helt til tops, og vi vurderte å fortsette til fots hvor skiheisen stopped, men vi droppet det. Alt i alt var det ikke nok snø til å slå håret helt ut.
