Skiing

Finally some snow pictures! For that we had to leave Oslo, of course. We took the train in the direction of Gjørvik to a place called Grua. While we were sitting there and talking, Chrystelle heard the announcement for the next stop and thought that the guy said Grua. So we went to the door but the stop didn't really look like a stop and in addition the sign where the name of the stop should have been was missing. So we didn't really know if we should get out or not and since we were so undecided the train started to move before we could get out. Then while the train was accelerating, we saw some kind of graffiti on another sign which said Grua. Well, we thought ... ok then we just go a stop further and try to ski back and find some other tracks. But it took quite a while until the train stopped the next time so we got out there and we were ...guess... in Grua. After this good laugh, we found the tracks quite easily and started skiing.
Here we are quite enthusiastic:



These are my two ski-mates Delphine and Chrystelle (Chrystelle is also my flat-mate).



A lot of snow! And almost nobody on the tracks - at least for the first 5.5 km. The profile was quite hilly with very steep slopes up- and downhill so it was not the easiest but we still had a lot of fun!



Towards the end, we even had some sun.
