The last day on skis

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

A more than perfect day in Trysil today; Sun, sun, sun, great skiing on perfect prepared slopes, sun, superb company, more sun, yummie lunch in the sun, beers and uhhh, aprΓ¨s-ski in the sun! πŸ˜‰
It seemed like yesterday that we arrived here, time really flies when you’re having fun, and fun we’ve had!! πŸ˜‰

Sun and Norwegian food

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Yay! The sun came back today as forecasted, and with last nights snow, the slopes were heaps of fun! Even a short, unexpected yet heavy hail storm mid day couldn’t spoil the fun! πŸ˜‰
Meanwhile in the chalet, Per and Ingrid prepared an excellent meal for us with many different Norwegian specialties, yummmm! Life’s grande!

Fifteen in Trysil

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

And with the arrival of Per and Ingrid, the bunch is complete; fifteen cheeseheads (technically fourteen πŸ˜‰ ) in one big chalet in Trysil! It’s great to share the wintersport fun in Norway with friends, especially now that the conditions are improving; it’s snowing at the moment, expected to last until tomorrow morning when the sun will be back, at least until Sunday!!
I hope that my backpain that kept me home today is gone tomorrow, hehe, I wanna ski that fresh powder in the sun!! πŸ˜‰

No more beard, for now

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Oops, I forgot to take my beard trimmer with me to Trysil, and was therefore facing the similar question as some years ago:
to shave or not to shave. The answer was simple; β€˜to shave’!
My face feels bald and as soft as silk, it looks weird though. πŸ˜‰

And two more makes thirteen

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

We’ve been skiing on a misty mountain today, yesterdays sun was nowhere near… πŸ™ The nice side effect is the fresh powder that fell, waiting for us tomorrow!
Two more cheeseheads joined the bunch tonight, so we’re almost complete now…the last two (actually 1,5 cheesehead πŸ˜‰ ) are coming on Thursday, sweet!

Eleven cheeseheads in Trysil

Monday, April 5th, 2010

The first bunch of cheeseheads arrived in Trysil yesterday, all for a week of skis, boards, snow, sun and fun!

Happy Easter!

Tunes for Trysil

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

I β€˜found’ some recent movies (just some πŸ˜‰ ) on da internet tubes and ripped around 30 CD’s filled with hits from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s…that together with the 100+GB of Tunes already on my Mac Mini, I am pretty sure that we’ll turn Trysil into a multimedia-maxi-dance-free-chill-and-party-extravaganza coming week…eeeaaasssyyyy!

The first two arrived

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

We’ll go skiing with 13 fellow cheeseheads in Trysil coming week! Most of them are flying in from The Netherlands on Sunday, but Rob and Marko arrived ahead of the rest by car last night, that’s two days extra vacation for them and some ‘imported’ goodies for us! πŸ˜‰

Vacation has begun…it’s gonna be heaps of fun!!

Happy Birthday Apple

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Apple fanboy as I am πŸ˜‰ April 1 marks, besides April Fools’ Day, also the Birthday of Apple.

Fortune magazine named them the most admired company in the world in 2008, 2009, and 2010, quite an accomplishment. Apple intends to celebrate their 34th ‘magical’ with coming Satuday’s iPad launch…let the festivities begin!
