52km of ski racing - under stunning blue skis

the waxing

the preparation

and finally they're off

a successful team at the end of the day - all with personal bests
Sesilsåmi results - compare it to last years experience!! and PS thanks to a rather splendid support team - stunning ;~)

its early this year

so warm, must be about a month earlier than last year - the buds all appearing and coming out already, the white coating is being shaken off

downhill at Voss

some rather nice downhill at the voss ski centre and accomodation at the historic hotel Fleischers but boy what an epic return - left at 16.30 home by 05.00!!! storms and ferries arent a good combination!

ICEHOTEL

we saw them ;~)

a 52 second exposure at 1000iso - 20mm lens

Stranddalen

a touch of local knowledge needed - a very much more up and down trail than the typical sirdal ones....and so much snow when there - the backdoor (the only entrance) was well below the snow level and had to be dug out aswell as the windows - but a pretty nice cabin inside!!
