Hard earned turns in the Grand Teton National Park |
I know I said I had stopped blogging... but I'm also very good of just doing one more (like fishing, there is always just one more cast). I have found myself in absolutely phenomenal winter scenes the last few months, though much to short I at least have some of them frozen on my camera. Pictures from Christmas in the Swizz/French Alps and the Swedish Country Side and a great little roadtrip to Jackson and the Great Teton National Park, WY, USA. Something to reap energy from in cold but snowless, very flat Baltimore this weekend. I would not mind doing this full time again for a while...
 |
"Slightly" desperate for mountains and snow I flew out to Denver for a long weekend, then drove 8 hours through Wyoming to meet two french friends driven there by a lack of snow in Europe |
 |
Coffee on an abandoned camping ground, heating up after a night sleeping in my rental car... |
 |
Walking is free |
 |
Jackson Hole and the Teton Pass living up to its reputation |
 |
Many good lines to be had! |
 |
No lift lines, no lifts. Grand Tetons in the background |
 |
Apparently Grand Teton translates to giant tits in French... not to be connected to this picture |
 |
A heard of 10000 Elks grazing outside Jackson - winter migration from Yellowstone |

 |
Getting ready for a day in the mountains |
 |
4 hours non stop walking to get up... |
 |
The goal of the day, but the snail/swede had not fully adjusted to the altitude |
 |
...and a fun 30 minutes to get down |
 |
Apreski in the sun on the parking lot, best kind there is |
 |
Sweden up close |
 |
We had phenomenal conditions when I was back home in Sweden over christmas. View over Slätbaken |
 |
Me and sis taking advantage of the good weather to do some CrossNature workout! |
 |
Nisse with inexhaustible energy |
 |
Large ice crystals forming in the cold weather. 3 days earlier it was open water here |
 |
Time to test the ice. Safety first |
 |
Then get closer to the edge |
 |
Then get on the edge |
 |
Dads house in winter dress |
 |
Theo had no memory of snow. Really scary and weird white fluff on the ground that was not there the day before! |
 |
I admit it. Though stinky and loud, ATVs are fun. |
 |
A few days earlier, time for that Christmas bath |
 |
Other resigned to be stinky observers |
 |
Swizz Alps before Christmas, little snow but we found what was left in Zinal and got a few turns in on our tour through europe. |
 |
The Swizz know how to do a good winter market |
 |
Across the Boarder from Geneva I found my french friends (same as in WY) and they dragged me up a mountain as usual |
 |
Inside the hut... cheese, bread wine, more cheese and wine and bread, and some bread and cheese and wine and you got yourself a small french picnic |
