It's still unusual for us to take a weekend ski trip. Ski trips for Oklahomans mean 10+ hours of driving, usually overnight so that we don't waste too much of the trip on travel, and then we ski hard for 4-5 days before heading home. These trips have always been fun and memorable, but I could get used to a weekend in the mountains. My favorite part is that I don't feel like I have to exhaust myself skiing because we can just go again the next weekend!
We recently took the Sauda ski boat again and enjoyed a day on the slopes, but our first ski trip of the season was in Roldal. It's about a 4 hour leisurely drive and one ferry away from Stavanger. We happened to drive through a heavy snowfall, but that just made it feel more like we were really in the mountains. Actually, Roldal is known for getting some of the best snow in Norway. We were a little early for the best conditions, but Jeffrey couldn't wait any longer to try out his new skis.
We stayed at the Marathon apartment with Leif Christian and Therese for the weekend. And while Jeff and Leif Christian enjoyed some skiing...
I got to hang with this little girl! Therese and I snuggled Sophie, read books, watched Norwegian TV, and were very lazy. A full day of skiing this time of year was from 10-3 since that's when the light is best anyway, so the boys were back to entertain us before long.
It wasn't too long after our ski trip that Stavanger received its first heavy snow. Jeffrey wasted no time in gathering supplies for a proper snow man. And of course Pistol has to be a part of it!
It's hard not to enjoy just about anything when I have these two around!
