My winter 2009: weissbier and langrenn

This year is going to be an exciting year – very exciting!

For this post I am going to break my own tenets and make a post about myself.. Me, me and only me. Yes, hell, I’ll even do it in detail for your entertainment (I just pray that anyone should find this interesting).

For the last two weeks, I’ve been skiing – in Austria and Norway respectively. First week was with a group of guys (including my good friend and neighbor Nicolaj) for one week of drunken Snowboarding in Saalbach, Austria. Great trip! Got to experience world famous afterskiing cabin Hinterhag, where people get drunk in Weissbier and Flying Hirsch and then head down the slope for 100-200 metres to get back into town – on skiis that is! We finished the week with an off-piste trip on the backside of some mountain, which ended up taking 4 hours of downhill, uphill and nearly cost us a seat in the bus home (we arrived 5 minutes before the bus drivers patience ran out). When we finally got home (bad seats + 16 hours bus drive = aching spine), i got a quick shower, ordered a pizza, had a long nights sleep and took off to the airport for a plane to Oslo (Norway). After hooking up with Stefan and Kasper (two family members), we left Kastrup airport, landed in Oslo and took a train til Kvitfjell, where we stayed for the following week. It’s been a nice stay – relaxed and cozy. Personally, I had a some great trips on Langrenn (cross-country skiing) throughout the Norwegian fjell.

Right now it’s 10:28 PM and I’m sitting in front of the dying fireplace, tapping my way through this post, while the rest of the +9 person cabin is at sleep. What will the next weeks, months bring? More excitement? Adventure and danger? New faces and fascinating foreign culture? Enlightened self-realization?

I’ll sleep on this for now, mold it through, work it and bring a post in the nearest future with my upcoming plans :-) Good night!
