But i manage to take some photos though: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oskarli...7594588854291/ It's still season here. -6 C this morning and new-fallen snow. Season? Oh, Yes Indeed! We're currently in the middle of the 10-day Norwegian Easter, which traditionally should be celebrated with xc skiing from a mountain cabine (or by skiing from lodge to lodge, maybe across Hardangervidda or Jotunheimen). We're in Rauland now, the first Easter since we switched mountain cabin, and conditions simply couldn't be any better. :-) We have crust conditions everywhere, the track setters run in the evening so that the trails will be perfect in the morning, but with the crust you can basically ski anywhere. I ski with a small backpack (for food & drink) and a Lowe waist pack for my camera gear, this works out nicely since I can twist the camera pack around to quickly grab some photos, then store the camera and twist the pack around again. Today I skied with my brother Knut and his youngest son, Hans-Petter, using skate gear: The first 8 km (as measured by GPS, and according to the official distance markers) took me just 22:28, which for me was a personal best on that trail. From that point (Sveige Bridge) we followed the (unplowed) summer road for a km, then started the serious uphill part: We climbed from 900 m to 1450 m altitude in just 3.5 km, but to do so we were willing to do sacrilege: We put 'Universal Klister' on our skate skis! This allowed me to basically walk straight up the hillside, and by the time we made it over the 1460 m watershed and could start skating again, 90% of the klister had been abraded away. At this point we skied another 3.5 km of gentle (10-40 m) up&downs across a plateau, before the final 170 m of altitude to the target of today's trip: Husnuten which at 1609 m above sea level is the highest mountain in our area. Total distance to the top was 17.5 km, and we had used 2.5 hours on the last 9 km, compared to less than half an hour on the first half. The return trip was interesting: The sun didn't manage to melt the surface today, so it was still icy when we skied down the steep hillside: We had to make so many traverses back and forth that my GPS claimed we'd skied four more km going down than we'd used to get up! The final 8 km of the return trip took 27 minutes, my legs were so wasted by the icy mountain skiing that I had to more or less double-pole everything. :-( Terje PS. We saw a bunch (6-8) guys with heavy duty telemark/alpine gear in the morning: They had tied their skis to their backpacks and pole-walked up the same hill we skied up (& down) in our skate gear. :-) -- - "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |
