Nothing new only skiing...

Not much is going on right now, except Per and I got our new skis and boots along with my very red outfit. The skis are getting mounted as i write this. It should be very exciting to test the skis out unfortunately they wont be ready until monday. The new boots are rather ok, the fit is not as good as my Salomons yet but at least they arent hurting as bad as I thought they would. With time we will see how its helping my shinbang issues I had last year. Here is some new pictures of the house aswell. Below is the Kitchen with our Potscrubber II, the portable dishwasher in the middle. Great piece of equipment?

Our Outdoor Hottub, 40 degrees celsius all year around, or at least the cold months when its nice to get a hot bath outside. The owner is asking us to put out the lights in the rooms we're not using. But this little electricitysucker is apparently not a problem.

The resort is looking lovely through a fisheye...

Im pretty small compared to the canadian trees

Mike is bouncing through the glades...

...and i'm following him. Per, the photographer, has a good eye for a neat picture.

Some Rocky Mountain skiing

After a slow weekend we went out skiing this monday morning and there wasnt a massive crowd slaying up all the 23cm that fell during the weekend. Speaking of snowdepth, in 2 days i have scratched up my skis worse than I did during the whole last season... But Emil and Mikes boards are a lot worse looking than my skis so I shouldnt complain to much.

The riding was good but as I said the snowpack is still a little low. The new snow was the smoothest I've ever skied with nothing even coming close. This place sure will rock whith one meter base added.

The good stuff is only a short hike away

Too bad a short hike at 2200-2500m still is pretty exhausting

I'm pushing the luck with a 360... I didnt make it.

Emil is glad we managed to get a ride in a pickup back to town.

Mike, Per and Amelie riding in the back.
