Christmas and New year trip

Christmas was celebrated at home in Mo i Rana as usual. Here is it "same presidure as every year" with a lot of food, sking, the traditional salmon party and family ski trip with the Rundhaug family. This year for the first time the skiing was on telemark/randonee skies instead of normal cross country skies!

Vatne and Rundhaug family christmas trip!

What went wrong...?

New year trip: After christmas some wierd crazy american dude called descided to come to Norway... This meant we had to try to be cool and also show him norway form its best side! Didn't turn out to bad I think. We proved that there is sun in january (for about 5 min), such thing as to much powder do exist and whale meet is not that bad. And since I got new camera for christmas it also resulted in some hundreds of pictures... :) (more on my gallery!)

We tried to find the Kongsvoll waterfall, but got kind of lost... We found this instead however. I think it is the TV waterfall? Greg leading and Kristin belaying.

Greg had a close encounter with norwegian waterfall ice


On the way up against Dronningkrona. We didnt get up due to short day and late start...

Just next to Kristins cabin we found an absolutly awsome waterfall! 50m from the road, and with a three in the middel where it is really easy to make topropes!

First day of the new year, with the first ski trip of the new year with absolutly perfect powder!

Me and Eivind got to the top on the first :) First peak of 2009: Storhornet!

Marianne. We got one day with really bad weather that we spent in the ski field in Oppdal. The powder was awsome but it was kind of really windy and misty...

Eivind jumping in Oppdal.

After Oppdal we went to Eresfjorden to stay at my cabin, and we gave Skjorta a try. This is the start of the way up early in the morning.

Lunch and view on the way up to Skjorta

I fell in the skifield in Oppdal and hurt my shoulder, but skiing with one arm wasnt that hard, it just looked kind of silly :)

Me, Marianne and Mari on the top of Skjorta!

Mari, powderskiing and the fjord in the background!

The last day the avalance danger was so huge we didnt really dare to go anywhere, so then we spent the day jumpign from the roof instead!
