Apparently some of them bring furniture
An older man boards an Oslo tram carrying a rocking chair and a pair of skis. It might be the most Norwegian photo I've ever taken.https://www.sivertalmvik.no/blog/apparently-some-of-them-bring-furniture/

"Girl from Mora Skiing," Anders Zorn, 1915.
Zorn (1860-1920) was a Swedish painter, sculptor, and printmaker, who for a while was a popular portraitist. His portraits include various members of Swedish royalty, and three U.S. Presidents: Grover Cleveland, William Howard Taft, and Theodore Roosevelt.
In 1910, after traveling widely, he and his wife settled near the Swedish town of Mora (his home is now a museum), where he was struck by the rural traditions of people around him. At the time, there was some concern about traditional ways being displaced by modernism, and much of Zorn's work of this period reflects that.
Here we have a peasant woman in traditional attire, skiing through a pine forest, a VERY traditional image. She looks over her shoulder at us, as if asking if we're going to join in. Or perhaps one last glance at a way of life that may be vanishing.
Internationally acclaimed in his life, he established Sweden's Bellman Prize, awarded to outstanding Swedish poets, on his death in 1920.
Now go watch the Olympics!

All-aluminum skis have some intriguing possibilities. I can see them being really useful in racing, which I guess is why FIS approved them. Interested in seeing their potential elsewhere.

Today I finished off my ski season six months to the day from when and where I started it back in October. It's been a phenomenal snow year in #Colorado and I'm grateful to have been able to get in so much skiing, even with a three month break in there. Now it's time to hang up the #skis and switch over to summery things.

... but I'm a sucker for punishment and just arranged for some fatter #skis to get 75mm #telemark bindings tomorrow. Let's see how that works. I had the components, including stiffish boots, lying around for three years after Rossignol staged a wild discount thing in 2020.
I'm a pretty proficient #alpine skier, but bad at learning new things.
And getting old.

Well, we finally found snow in the Eifel mountains near #Bonn today and managed a shortish round on #backcountry #skis. If you zoom this pic, you'll see my tired and troubled face as I once again realise that #nordic free-heel bindings represent an evil kind of pseudo freedom. I'm thinking of using proper #alpine touring bindings in future, even on moderate, rolling terrain. Too old to #telemark, too young to die!

My family skis in Colorado. They send me pictures and this was one from few years ago and digitally painted, added lots of touches to enhance the excitement of the skier going down hill in the snow!

D.C. snowstorms are the best
I woke to find about nine inches of snow had accumulated overnight. That’s the most snow we’ve had all season and the most we’ve had in three years–two of which were less like a traditional D.C. winter and more like a colder version of the Bay Area’s rainy season.
As much as I like the Bay Area’s climate, I love living in a place with distinct seasons that include real winters. And no winter is complete to me without a full-on snowstorm that leaves roads impassable, shuts the airports and frees me to play in the snow–because I am basically eight years old at these times.
Today’s snow isn’t in the same league as the historic snowstorms I’ve seen here, but it will have to do.
January 1996: This remains a sentimental favorite for how it helped bond me to the District. As the snow started falling, I decided I couldn’t watch it from inside the apartment I’d moved into weeks before. I wandered down from Kalorama to Dupont Circle, made my way to Kramerbooks, bought a copy of Edward P. Jones’ “Lost in the City,” and read his stories of wayward Washingtonians at the bar as the snow laid a hush over my beautiful neighborhood. By the next morning, 17.1 inches had fallen, and I was proud to be one of the few Posties who made it into the newsroom–having walked down the middle of Connecticut Avenue to get there.
The effects of the blizzard lingered for years; later in January, a torrent of snowmelt led a swollen Potomac to flood and tear up much of the C&O Canal, and the Park Service didn’t finish repairing the towpath until 1998 or maybe 1999.
Presidents’ Day, 2003: This could have been a lot more fun. We were in West Virginia to go skiing and should have stayed there. Instead, I was on the losing end of a group decision to head home early. After the long drive home in a blizzard, the first two hours involving too many tense moments on twisting mountain roads, I needed a drink. Instead, I realized there was enough snow on the ground (16.7 inches had fallen) and enough elevation changes in the adjacent blocks for me to finish my skiing without paying for a lift ticket. I enjoyed carving turns around parking meters.
December 2009: This was the first time I could make serious use of the cross-country skis I’d picked up a year or two earlier. I enjoyed “Snowpocalypse” by clocking about six miles through the streets of Arlington, finally turning around on the Fairfax Drive onramp to I-66 after I’d spent a few minutes contemplating a snow-covered highway devoid of cars. I ate well that night! The next evening, I took my downhill skis to a nearby park, where the 16.4 inches of snowfall had turned a series of steps into a miniature jump.
This was also the first snowstorm where I both had a digital camera to document the scenery and a choice of social-media sites to share those photos.
February 2010: Washington’s most epic winter ever continued with a pair of blizzards–one depositing 17.8 inches, the second running up the score with 10.8 inches–not even half a week apart. The first day after “Snowmaggedon,” I spent almost five hours cross-countrying as far into the District as Rock Creek Park–in the process, checking “cross the Key Bridge in a car, on a bus, on a bike, on foot, and on skis” off my bucket list. A day later and considerably more sore, I ventured out again and inspected some impressive snow architecture on the Mall.
I wasn’t the only person doing a lot of urban skiing at the time. Some crazy kids in Pittsburgh put together an amazing video of them skiing and snowboarding down Mount Washington, among other unlikely spots around the city. Seriously, just watch it.
1/16/2014: Now that I finally uploaded a few dozen photos from the 2009 and 2010 snowstorms to Flickr (I’d only shared them on Facebook at the time, for reasons I don’t entirely remember), I embedded a slideshow of them after the jump.
