Blown away in Hemsedal
Not completely blown away, but last weekend's trip to Hemsedal resulted in my first visit to the slopes at Solheisen--simply because most of Hemsedal ski resort was closed due to strong winds on Saturday. So instead of long queues and windy slopes, I got to twist and turn through the not-so-steep forested hills of Solheisen in nice, soft snow. The soft snow also made me jump both higher and longer than before.
On Sunday, the wind had calmed down and all of Hemsedal was open--until the wind picked up again, that is. On our way towards the top Tinden, the lift started swaying a lot and was closed just after we got off. Apart from that, and the warm weather that rendered the snow wet and heavy, it was really nice to get back on the snowboard again--particularly as I am starting to get some air under my board now.
I hope to increase the "airness" in Narvik next weekend (high-res map)...
