Hello from the snow! I don’t think I have ever seen as much of the stuff as we’ve got here in Norway. I did a test late last week and the car ran really well – check out the news section for more details. After that, a few of us went and did some boarding an hour or so north of Hamar. The snow was unreal. I put my board down and it sank like half a meter into the powder. It was impossible to see where the piste was, it was up to my knees all of the time. It was just a big free –for-all down the mountain, watching out for the trees as we went. You couldn’t actually board or ski for too long, though. The cold was incredible. It’s bad enough when the regular temperature is minus 30, but once you start racing down the slope and get a bit of wind chill going, then it starts to get seriously chilly! |
