Anne Berg. I love this woman! She made such efforts for the last couple weeks to make sure I had the best time in Norway! A superb host!
Mattis. I stayed in his cabin for the week. He joked that I was the cook and he was the dishwasher. We had a great time together and I am very grateful for his generous hospitality!
Ken. Good friend from Ski For Light from the UK.
Anette. My ski partner for the week.
There was 5 days straight worth of races. I was so impressed with the organization and professionalism of each event.
A soldier showing off his impressive troll snow making ability.
Run Run (her nickname since pretty much no American can say her name correctly). Serving herself some grub at my leftover dinner party.
Deep thoughts over dinner.
The soldiers waxing my skis baby! One of my favorite part of this event!
An adorable birthday tree the girls made for Solvi's b-day.
A ladies dinner! They prepared for me a traditional Norwegian dinner. The most central fare included boiled shrimp, on white bread with garlic mayonnaise. Also on the table included many different types of "tapas" such as olives, peppers, sausage balls etc.
Solvi and Raydar. Friends from Ski For Light.
Sylvia, me and Svein.
At several of the races this goofy brass band appeared. They were incredibly entertaining each time!
The Royal Band also performed at several of the events. This is the band from Norwegian's Royal Palace.
The after party when everyone finished the last race for the week.
Per, Anette, me and Anne. We skied (for the most part) the 20 kilometer race together. Although our highlight was the picnic we had at km 11. Anette had packed dried cranberries, dark chocolate, marsipan and more!
