Downhill in Hovden

Laughing in the Lift

Today Anne, Jannis my friend from Germany and me went to Hovden. To close the skiing season and to use my downhill skis which I brought with me. Now I can proudly say that I used them and none can tell me that it was of no earthly use to bring them.

After month of cross-country skiing I was really excited about the feeling of downhill. The first try was rather slow and snatchy. However after a minute or so my senses for the downhill technique returned. And I must admit that I have never had such a good technique since I learned skiing four years ago. As Volker Nagel always says, there are similar patterns in sportive movements which improve your technique even if you practice something different.

The whole day was great fun as you can check out on the pictures.
