  • Oslo winter 2018

    Oslo winter 2018

    I headed back to Oslo for the WordCamp Oslo conference, but also to visit some of my favourite humans.

    Thanks to Leah for providing the skiing clip of me. I have enough trouble staying upright on those darned skis let alone doing selfie videos 😉

  • Hytta på skitur

    I stayed at a hytta (cabin) after a skiing trip with Ingvild, Live and Irene. It was an awesome little place with a great view out over a frozen lake.

  • Cross-country skiing cherry popped

    I had my first cross country skiing trip recently. Ingvild, Live, Irene and myself headed to a small hytta (cabin) near Oslo. The weather was great and despite my being a bit slow and having to run down the occasional hill due to my meagre skiing skills, I made it to the end! Big thanks to Ingvild, Live and Irena for being awesome first-time ski instructors 🙂

  • Linderudkollen hoppsenter

    Whilst cycling on the weekend I stumbled across a well known Norwegian past-time … ski jumping. These crazy Norwegian nutcases launch themselves off stupidly steep ramps whilst on skis. Apparently doing it in the winter is not enough, and so some of the craziest ones resort to doing it on an even crazier plastic hill during the summer months.

    Here is the result …

    The jumper did get up. Nothing more than damaged pride.

    The photos were taken at Linderudkollen hoppsenter near Oslo, Norway.

  • Sunshine ski field

    I went skiing at the Sunshine ski field in the Rocky Mountains twice while living in Calgary. It turns out I’m not very good at skiing 😛
