| 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 |
 |
| Grand Tetons National Park with an impressive lineup |
 |
| 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 |
