Impressed… Last monday we had a wonderful trip to Skåla. Maja had borrowed some pair of ski of Marte. So this would be Maja’s first trip with with more heavy alpine equipment.
She has never been on a so big and steep mountain before with ski on. She did super well:-) Frode was also with us today and he celebrated his 39th birthday with taking his FIRST and BIGGEST jump ever.. IMPRESSED!!!!!! Here is the exclusive
picture….. I had to admit that I didn’t believe he would do it.. Congratulation Frode.

On monday Tor and I had an wonderful trip on Fløtatind. Must have been the condition of the year. We had 30 cm of untouched powder. The sun was shining the hole day…

Here hi is enjoying some really good chocolate

Words is not enough to describe the conditions….. speechless

Kirketaket is a beautiful mountain located in Isfjorden in the heart of Romsdalen.
It takes approximately 3 or 4 ours to get to the top. But it’s well worth it, when you stand on the top and you have more than 1000 meter of skiing down to the fjord:-)
Normally you can have it all by your self, but since it’s easter a lot of people was out skiing. Think I counted more than 30 people in front of us on the way to the top..

Here are Frode, Håvard and Magnus. You can see Kirketaket in the background. On the way up we had some fog and snow. but before we reached the top it cleared up:-)

The view from the the top is AMAZING!! And that ridge is another nice trip to do.

Couple years ago my father put up a cottage not so far from the farm I grew up on. It’s a rely nice place, and you have to ski or walk to get there. We thought it was a perfect day for hanging out there.

Who wants to mess with this guys?

My sister making a fire:-)

Not everyone had to ski down again. Here is Arnt Ola and Kristin.

Ps: Arnt has just finished a dog rase called Finnmarksløpet. It’s 500 km long. Hi got third place. That’s amazing consider hi has newer joined a rase like that before.

Last week I was working as an instructor in rope access together with Helge. Helge is a good friend of me and work in the same company. We had a really nice group to work with, so it was only a pleasure to teach them. Everyone was motivated, and wanted to learn. Thank you guys. Makes our job so much easier

Here is the group that we were teaching

Not everyone understood why we where switching of the light again and again.. Told them it was good practicing

Sometimes it’s a loot going on at the same time Here they are practicing on a rescue procedure.

Today Frode and I decided to go skiing on Stortussten. The nice weather was with us almost all the way to the top.
