Time for a different parallel...: Skiing trip....

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!
