The Ski Season has finished

Well and truly...after we got back from Sälen its rained or been warm every day, the last of the huge snow ploughed snow piles disappeared last week, and all that is left now is big pile of grit. It's pissing it down now as I look outside.

This is actually atop the mountain at Tandådalen, on the one clear day that we had there. The skiing was great all week though, averaging about minus 5 each day with some fresh snow for several days at the beginning of the week. Perfect :-)

The Ski Season has started

Well the stockholmski season has started anyway. We went up to here http://www.vasjobacken.com/ yesterday, which is about 7km up the road from home. I bought some skis during the week so got to try them out for the first time. We're going out to buy some skis for sarah today, as she's got the bug of "not queuing". Hopefully this week we'll go up after work a few times, as its open til 10pm every night.

Skiing frenzy here we come :-)
