Home again

Back in reality after a great week in Sälen.
There's something charming about walking around the cabin in your long johns. Thankfully I work in "pajamas" so the change is ok. Start working tonight.
4 days until I will kick start my training and get a new diet. I'm sorry now if I'm unusually cranky in February, well getting off sugar ain't easy.

Cracking the code!

Starting to crack the code of skiing.
Standing less in a plow and more parallel skies. It went really well today when I cracked the code 😊

Break from skies tomorrow, I'm going to keep Arnstein company to Leksand, he has a meeting there. So we will take a little trip and go to Mora since we are driving past it. So in one trip I will see both start (Sälen) and finish (Mora) for Vasaloppet a 90 km ski-race

Great day

We went to hundfjället today. The slopes were better, longer and I managed to stay upright all day. -19° today but not a cloud in the sky and no wind so it was good.
We ate lunch at the top of the mountain, very nice.
After skiing we went to a aqua park, bubble pools, sauna, so nice.
Back in the cabin, taking it easy on the couch with a glass of wine.

Skiing

Only -24 degrees in the morning when we went outside. I rented ski gear and then we hit the slopes. Stood on skies for the first time in 15 years, went ok. We took one long ride, which I didn't like, to steep for me. So I went back to the easy children's slopes and it was fine after that.

Now some food, beer and sauna to warm up our stiff body's.

Sälen

We have arrived in Sälen after almost 10 hours on the road. -17 degrees, at least there is no Mosquitos.
The cabin is wonderful. Planning for an early night. Will rent skies in the morning and then we are off to the slopes. 15 years since last time.

My shiny new toy

Happy new.....

Lot of new things happening in the beginning of the new year.
I had a postcard in Morgunblaðið, a personal greeting for friends and relatives in Iceland. I took a new car for a test drive and well, tomorrow I'm leaving my car at the shop for evaluation, how much it's worth. The bitchmobile may be up for sale soon.
20th of January we are going skiing in Sälen for a week. Haven't been skiing since I was 19, but hey there's always the children's slope right!!
Well just a small update
