Skiing step by step

Once again this winter we are cross contry skiing in the mountains around Bergsdalen between Bergen and Voss. This time we really need to cross the river on the bridge. The ice on the river is gone during the last 3 weeks.

Today temperature is high even if the sky is cloudy. The skis are prepared with paste to get better fastening upwards. One of us has skis with once and for all preparation that look like shells to avoid slipping on the way up. Others have to ski the fishbone-way like this.

Downhill we can run without restraining when snow is moisty and the skis are gliding slow. Some of us like to use the plough-brakes as usual even if it does no harm to tumble in the snow. Then we look like this.

At this time, when a lot of people are skiing in the mountains, the help assistance is not far away. And during Easter holidays they are well prepared to give assistance.
