Skiing on the Swedish Alps!

February the 19 to 21, Tomas, my Rotary counselor and his family, took Kelly, my Australian friend and I to their winter cabin in the mountains, to go skiing! Tomas, his wife Annet and their two boys; Kristofer(9) and Magnus(8) go skiing a lot because there are 2 skiing mountains close to their cabin. So the boys are really good at skiing! Kelly has been skiing in Australia since she was 7 so she's really good too and was giving me pointers on how to ski better! ********The mountains are a lot more rounded than the Rockies but it's still really good skiing-a lot better skiing than the prairies! That weekend was cold, -17 so there weren't many people out, no line ups at the lifts! I followed Kristofer and Kelly down a black run called the ravine and almost made it all the way down, but near the bottom I had a spectacular face plant! *********In the evenings we had a nice hot sauna and watched TV. One of the nights we had a smoked moose meat delicacy. It was very nice, tender and lean but the meat was a lot more raw in texture than what I'm used to. Sunday, it was to cold to ski so instead I taught everyone what s'mores were! The boys caught on to them pretty quick, Kelly didn't like them for some reason and I ended up just eating the chocolate! After lunch, we drove the 4 hours back into town. It was a fantastic weekend! *********Sorry I don't have pictures, I lost my camera. :(
