Easter ski holiday in Hallingdal, Norway

What a great Easter holiday we had in my home village Aal in Hallingdal, Norway! We stayed at a rented flat in a modest hotel near the downhill slope Svarteberg. We, being: My wife Eva (60), our children Kjetil (33) and Kjersti (30) and her child Erik (2). The weather was not too bad. Strong winds, too strong to sit down, but not too strong to run around.

Erik was very proud of his brand new equipment: Downhill skis, boots, helmet and goggles. He had to go down between my skis the first days. But in the end he just held on to my hand from time to time. I had to catch him before he came to the bottom of the hill though, because he still has not learned to stop! That's his next lesson!

But each time we stopped, he just cried: More, more!
