Oslo in March: Adventures in Klister

I made a trip down to Oslo for a weekend with some skiing and a change of scenery. It turned out to be a good weekend to be away from Trondheim, where the wind and rain caused the authorities to suggest that people stay indoors. Instead, I enjoyed the sun and warmth in Oslo, and a good visit with a good friend!

We skied from Sognsvann to Kikutstua and back, like last year, but this time without any wrong turns. It felt much easier than last year - probably more a result of new skis than better training - but the warm weather required the use of gooey klister wax, which ended up getting all over our hands, poles, skis...

There were crowds of happy skiers resting at the cabins:

... but there was lots of room to ski, and the trip across the long lake after the turnaround point was extremely fun on my new skis (double poling for 1.5 km!).

Luca on the lake.

And on Sunday, I finally managed to visit Vigeland Park, with all of the strange statues.
