It´s always exiting to race, and even this isn´t a World Cup race, it for sure different from normal training. </article> <article> <h1>Not only sunshine</h1> <p>Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:30:00 AM +0100</p> 0 false 21 18 pkt 18 pkt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Vanlig tabell"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} Taking photos and writing reports on days with perfect sunshine and hero-snow is easy. The reality is that many of the days on the hill is nothing like that. We have been skiing in fog, rain, wind and soft snow for the last three days. It´s not as pleasant as skiing under a clear sky, but who knows what will meet us during the race season? If there isn´t an earthquake, the race will start.. Better be prepared! A variation in visibility and snow quality is also a good tool to improve ski balance. As long as it doesn´t last for very much longer, I´m staying positive! </article> <article> <h1>Skiing and Skydiving</h1> <p>Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:57:00 AM +0100</p> Leif has done a great job by putting together a video from our stay so far.

I´m really surprised about the quality and size of this place. It´s one of the biggest resorts in NZ, and we are lucky to have more slopes to choose from. The coaches spent two evenings putting water on the steepest hill, it gives us a though challenge and a great arena for testing and training. </article> <article> <p>Wed, 25 Aug 2010 06:19:00 PM +0100</p> </article> <article> <h1>Arrived</h1> <p>Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:35:00 AM +0100</p> 0 false 21 18 pkt 18 pkt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Vanlig tabell"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} After endless hours traveling we´re finally here.

A nice surprise to read all the emails and notes you have left me. I have spent the entire day on an aircraft heading in direction New Zealand, haven´t had the chance to do much celebration. But on the other side, a birthday at 40 000 feet, is something not everyone gets to experience. I have to look at it that way. After 30 hours, we are only in Singapore. A long layover by the equator has been spent mostly by the swimming pool, so I guess we can´t really complain. Another 9hour flight, and we are golden. Travelling such a distance in addition to the 10 hour time difference, is pretty heavy. Winter snow and a nice bed will be a good reward when we get there! </article> <article> <h1>Stelvio</h1> <p>Fri, 06 Aug 2010 10:07:00 AM +0100</p> 0 false 21 18 pkt 18 pkt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Vanlig tabell"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} After skiing in a skidome for three days, it was really nice to get out in open air on the glacier in Stelvio, Italy. The plan was to stay in the mountains 4 days before heading home. We managed to get 2 days with great conditions, one day with soft snow and fog and one day was canceled. Getting this much skiing done in Europe at this time of the year, is something we have to be happy about. In two weeks we travel to the other side of the planet to experience winter in New Zealand. It will definitely be the highlight of the training season! </article> <article> <p>Sat, 31 Jul 2010 11:50:00 AM +0100</p> </article> <article> <h1>Indoor skiing</h1> <p>Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:23:00 PM +0100</p> 0 false 21 18 pkt 18 pkt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Vanlig tabell"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} After a good and long summer break, we´re finally back on snow. This time with a different twist then normal. We´re skiing with a roof over our head, in Wittenburg, Germany. Nice to don´t have to worry about the weather forecast for once. We´re doing three sessions a day, which for sure will brush the sand off our shoulders and prepare us for the tough months to come. </article> <article> <h1>Quiet days</h1> <p>Fri, 25 Jun 2010 09:39:00 AM +0100</p> 0 false 21 18 pkt 18 pkt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Vanlig tabell"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} 0 false 21 18 pkt 18 pkt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Vanlig tabell"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} There is not much exiting stuff going on these days, therefore lacks the updates. Anyway, in the beginning of this week I was in Oslo to join the team for physical training. The rest of the guys are training together every day, since I don´t live in the capital anymore, I was just there for a quick visit this time. Good to meet up with the guys, combined with some great work out sessions. We are putting down a great effort, and are going to become dangerous this winter!

The video is from a downhill training in Beaver Creek, USA. To hook a gate in about 120km/h is nothing I recommend! But this time I caught a lucky break, came out of it with only minor injuries, and was able to race the next day. </article> <article> <h1>Summer holiday!</h1> <p>Mon, 07 Jun 2010 04:50:00 PM +0100</p> Today I finally finished my last examination of this semester. Six hours of intense economic work resulted in a academic performance I´m really happy about. What the teacher thinks, is something else.. My effort coming in to the test has not been the best, a lot of exiting stuff has been happening these last weeks, which has made me evan more unfocused as a student.. </article> <article> <p>Sun, 23 May 2010 03:03:00 PM +0100</p> </article> <article> <h1>Glacier skiing Juvass</h1> <p>Thu, 20 May 2010 04:50:00 PM +0100</p> We are back on snow, and will have five days of training at the summer ski facilities in Juvass, Norway. This is in the national park of Jotunheimen close to Norwegian highest mountain Galhøpiggen(2469m). So far we have had great weather, but very warm tempratures. The weekend supposed to be colder, and we hope for harder snow. Anyway, we are having some nice days at the office.. </article> <article> <h1>Some usefull slalom tips</h1> <p>Sun, 16 May 2010 06:01:00 PM +0100</p> A friend of mine made this instuction video for slalom.

One more exam in the beginning of June and I´ll be done for the summer. </article> <article> <h1>Enjoying the Norwegian mountains</h1> <p>Sat, 24 Apr 2010 03:45:00 PM +0100</p> The 2009/10 season is over, but we are already well underway preparing for the next.
