5 day ski tour

The last week was spent travelling by ski across the border from Sweden to Norway. The weather gave us real value for our money, with heavy snow, strong winds, brilliant sunshine, zero visibility and 2 days of warm rain. I think all who went enjoyed the trip but the last day was a suffer fest and we were all very glad to get back to Levanger. Dry clothes, hot showers, cold beer. Ahhh..

Day one...

Dombas 16th to 20th March

1 ski school, 2 instructors, 5 student assistants and 60 kids. And 1 overworked ping pong table.

The Trolltun hostel is located in Dombas in the Dovrefjell region of Norway. In the winter it provides 5 day ski based mountain activity courses for school kids. I went with 4 classmates to help out for a week and really had an awesome time, spending the days out on cross country skis, touring, digging snowholes and soaking up the sunshine. On two evenings the ski centre next door switched on its floodlights and t-bar and we 'ripped up the slopes' on telemark skis!!!.
