  1. 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.

  3. "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!

    From a private collection.

  8. 🔥💦 Oh, wow! Who knew melting glaciers could reveal such a secret #treasure trove of coastline?! 1,500 miles of "new" land—perfect for our #jet #skis and beachfront condos! 🏖️🏄‍♂️ Nature Climate Change has truly outdone itself with this groundbreaking revelation that ice melts and land appears. Bravo! 👏🔍

  12. 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.

  13. The @Vivaldi QA employees have arrived at the #Oslo office!

    As is the way with QA we must test ALL possible methods of transport!

  15. Built something today😁

  16. 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.

  18. ... 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.

  20. 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!

  22. 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!
