TR - Immigrant Song: Norway 5/2007
Brief TR of ski touring around Stryn, Norway: Skied 5 days from 5/25-5/29. The resort didn't open as planned due to heavy snow and avalanche hazard, but we still took advantage of the endless surrounding ski terrain. The long, boring version of the TR is here.
We come from the Land of the Ice and Snow
From the Midnight Sun
Where the hot springs blow.
The Hammer of the Gods,
Will drive our ships to new lands.
To fight the horde,
Sing and cry,
Valhalla I am coming.
On we sweep,
With threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the Western Shore.
…
We come from the land of the Ice and Snow
From the Midnight Sun
Where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore.
Of how we calmed
the tides of war,
We are your overlords.
On we sweep,
With threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the Western Shore.
…
So now you'd better stop
and rebuild all your ruins.
For peace and trust can win the day,
Despite of all your losing.

Very cool TR.
It's nice to know that they have telemarking in Norway now, too.Last edited by Geoff; 06-22-2007 at 04:35 AM.

I'm definitely going back there next year. To stay on the Zeppelin theme, It's been a long time...

I'm disappointed.
I thought FOR SURE the pics of topless Scandababes would have made this version of the TR.
Still...nicely.

Nice meeting you there Launce. Nice meeting Hemas, LT and Teletori as well. Cedric and I also had a very good time there - next time we'll make sure we have our touring gear with us so we can also ski together... we bootpacked a number of mountains around stryn during those 3 days and got some nice skiing as well.
next time you are around (in Europe that is) give us a shout - Horizon and yours truly would be happy to see you again.
Lovely TR's.The beatings will continue until morale will improve.
