If I Fell

My second day in Trondheim was spent skiing with Katrine and two of her friends. Katrine's family has a cabin about one hour outside of Trondheim in Meråker. We arrived the cabin, got clipped into cross country skis, and headed up the mountain. I've only been skiing on golf courses and the woods up north (what a Minnesotan thing to say!), so skiing on the side of a mountain was quite a challenge! It had also been close to 8 years since I'd last been skiing, so it took me a while to get the hang of it. 


The hardest part was going uphill. It also took me a while to get comfortable enough going downhill that I could let go and just have fun. I took one heck of a spill when I hit a curve to fast, so after that I was more cautious. There was a lot of snow on the mountain, so my falls were cushioned. 



Here are some pictures from our day:

Groomed trails (and Katrine's friends waaaay ahead)

What a view!

After skiing, we went back to the cabin and grilled burgers and made s'mores in the grill house.

Can you tell it got pretty smokey in there?

 I was so wiped out from our busy day that I fell asleep in the car on way home!
