yann in the arctic

In fact, over the past couple of days there has been a sign that the sun will soon be returning! Ok, officially the sun comes back in just over a month time (end of Feb) (and only comes back to town in March because of the surrounding mountains), but still! At lunch we can always spot the faint light in the distance.

And so a few of us went for a quick ski trip up a local mountain, Trollsteinen. Going up was quite ok, but coming back down was a different story. The thing is, my skis are mountain skis and not downhill skis. There is this Norwegian was of skiing (telemark) which is so difficult to learn but makes coming down much easier. Unfortunaltly I can't do it yet - so that's my challenge for the season.
