IF the NYCIty marathon was held in -10 deg C temps I'll be not one NYCity
person would camp out the night before !!
Thats the difference !

Kirkenes sounds kinda exotic and so far north. No snow that far north in
October??

How's that different from the NY Marathon? Except for the camping out
in -5 to -20 C part?

Excitement surrounding an outdoor winter event?

This is what separates us from the Euro's.
I'm moving to Scandinavia.

You're welcome!

What's your daytime occupation?

Oct/Nov in northern Norway - Kirkenes.

I'd prefer some place like Beitostølen, Kirkenes can be both dark and
snowless at that time of the year. Isn't that right Terje H?

Dec/Jan in Finland - Kuuopio.
Feb/March in Sweden - Mora.

OK, but you _have_ to come to Oslo after Vasaloppet in time for
Holmenkollen!

April? Any suggestions

Any mountain you like in Norway!


thanks for giving some insight into the excitment Terje.

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it.

Terje
