We drove up to the mountains not exactly knowing what we wanted to accomplish. We settled for skiing up and then down Glekse Fjell (112o meters). Blue is the route up and red the route down.
Johan and Nacho on the way up. Johan had telemark skis but Nacho braved it out on fjell skis, basically a beefed up xc ski with edges.

The following photos are from my Telemark 2 culture and history course. They are Hardanger fiddles that were hand made in Norway. Their craftsmanship is out of this world: the attention to detail and materials used are absolutely incredible. The darker fiddle belongs to Anne Svånaug Haugan, a brilliant folk fiddle player from Kongsberg. The other belonged to her teacher (whose name escapes me at the moment), and to his father and so on. It is over 200 years old and is still fully functional!
