Upon arrival....
Time passes
rapidly and before we realize it we’ve celebrated Christmas and New Year…… It
seems like not so very long ago Vincent and Jenna were in Seoul and spend
Christmas with us, just after our4 30st Anniversary and they presented us with
a long ski-weekend in Sälen in the
province of Dalarna, about 420 km north of Stockholm.
This past
weekend was arranged to consume our present together with our youngest “child”
and his wife. For Anders and I it was 14 years ago since we were on skies and
to be honest I’ve never been very good at it and always feel a bit scared, even
if I don’t take a slope harder then red but try to stay on green and blue.
We had fun
on the trip up which takes longer than one thinks for the weather conditions
and small roads don’t give you the possibility to speed up. The cabin Jenna
booked was lovely and the snow lighted everything up but it was mighty windy
and cold. The weather, being an essential subject when you ski, was at the
least said very differentiated, from windy with icy slopes to newly fallen snow
and sunshine.
We had lots
of fun together and I was proud and amazed how well Vincent takes himself down
on his snowboard on the most difficult slopes. This resulted in the fact that I
forced a helmet upon him for the speed was crazy. His wife Jenna turned during
this trip also to snowboard which she managed fabulously after some training.
Anders couldn’t resist and did some snowboarding as well. That resulted in the
fact that I was that day the best skier of the four of us! Enjoyable but it’s
okay they all are better than I on the slopes for I’m absolutely best in
after-ski, too bad I had to perform before I could shine…..
All
together a fun long weekend worthwhile to remember.
Thank you
Vincent and Jenna!
First day on the slopes!
Instuctions from a very relaxed son....

More skiing but before next tour first a stop at the sport shop to purchase a helmet......

No, no helmet for me for the speed I have is.....
Vincent was "daddy" to all of us during these days,
fixing things but mainly carrying his own equipement
and mine :)
Beautiful views...
