December has brought a mixed bag of weather overall. The start of the month remained relatively cold with the snow cover staying around long enough for a few ski touring excursions in the local Sogndal Valley. As most of my time is having to be spent in the Library right now its being harder to fit in days out. On this particular trip I picked up Sofie at 7am for a sunrise ski-her idea.
ridiculous moment worth mentioning: whilst Sofie got changed in the back an old Norwegian man failed to check his mirrors and revered his 4x4 into the Van. luckily no damage......
so worth the early start...
looking back down the valley towards Sogndal.
Me looking like i know what Im doing... you can just about see the Hurrungane on the horizon.
looking back from the summit.
On the way down a quickly realised that Sofie (being Norwegian) had totally overestimated my sking ability and I embarrassing had to keep my skins on for the steeper parts of the decent!
I was back in the Libary by 1pm and felling rather proud of our morning outing :)
