"...the first snow of the season..."
well...this is Tryvann!!! my local ski resort. its about 20 minute drive from my house, and is just behind holmenkollen, where the big ski jump is. and it opened this weekend!!! well... one slope did, and is the second earliest ever its opened...well..they did cheat a bit, it hasnt snowed here yet, so the snow is actually man made (using the blowers on one of the photos). its actually very icy to board on...and hurts like hell when you fall...which i did many times in the first few runs. i think i had totally forgotten how to board...i was woeful! however, i think the trick is to stick your ipod on...that seemed to help loads, and by the end, i had just about remembered how to master it...which is 10x more fun. am a little sore today from crashing a few times, but hey...the season has started!
on a down side, did remind me lots of japan, and made me miss my boarding buddies an awful lot, especially my best boarding buddy Kat. big kisses to you, and fingers crossed for snow in hiroshima soon! xx
ps photos are a bit crappy as they were taken with my phone
