Xcountry-skiing in Øyerfjellet

After a couple of weeks working in Oslo - where there is no snow at all - we are spending this weekend in Øyer working on our xcountry skiing technique.

Mari ready to set off on her very first xcountry skiing trip this winter!


A nice view of Øyerbygda from Øverbygda

Mari smiling - I made it through!

If this isn'n good Norway-marketing, then what is?

End of our xmas holiday

After a couple of weeks of eating, opening presents and wearing dresses and suits...



...it is now time to go out and do some jumping & running...


Happy New Year to all of you!

Pics from New Years Eve

New Years Eve was spent with family and friends @ two separate parties. Mari arrived from Oslo in the afternoon, and as soon as she had stepped inside our door my mother served heaps of pork and chocolate brownies. Since we are students, we never say no to free food - so of course we dug in.
Afterwards we drove off to Hallvard, a good friend of mine also studying in Trondheim. At his place we got served a delicious stew made from elk followed by caramel pudding a lá Grafsrønningen - a Gudbrandsdalen specialty. It was a great night!
All set for an evening consisting of calories and friends

Marthe and Hallvard @ their very best! :) Lots of cred to Hallvard for throwing a very nice new-years party! Thanksalot!


Stig trying to impress Hilde with a few mathematical jokes. It seems to be working just fine, doesn't it?


Audun & Mari relaxing between the main dish and the dessert


Stig serving his home made caramel pudding - it was really delicious! Any mother-in-law would instantly fall in love.
