I spent the 2002/2003 winter in Norway. It was a dream come true.
I even did the
Birkebeiner
ski marathon, although that was more like a nightmare come true ;-)
Here
are the current trail conditions in Olso, complete with
live web cams, daily waxing recommendations, trail maps
and photographs.

Here are some pictures of me skiing from my house in the Lillomarka,
north of Oslo (first three), and in the mountains near Helmsedal,
three hours west of Oslo (last three).

- Last day of 2002. Went to work in the morning and went out skiing
from home in the afternoon. It was around 0 degrees F, which made
for a bomb-proof grip for the kick wax. Definitely the cat's whiskers ;-)
