Hemsedal

Lisa and I went to Hemsedal as soon as possible eager to find some ice. We went to Gols juvet and Flaget fossen. The ice was fragile and not formed properly yet, but we got a few lines sent anyway. After climbing in spain, minus 30 degrees and ice climbing felt quit cold. Going back for more later!

Ice Ice Baby

Psyched for the first ice of the season. The conditions are not what they used to this time of year, but my hometown had ice compared to the rest of Norway. I was lucky enough to get two days in before heading down south for new years and skiing in myrkdalen. Eirik and I went one day to Bjølla in drivdalen. Bergljot and I went a few days after to the same spot. Ice is on! The skiing in myrkdalen didn't quite stick to the expectations with mild weather and foggy conditions. Anyways, got my first turns of the season and skiing is always fun!

Did not have any photos from myrkdalen, but here's some from Oppdal.
