Skiday<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We started at 9.30 at the bus and went to the skitracks<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We were divided the group in 2 groups one went with Len the other with Tim<\/p>\n<p>On the tour we focus on:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Orienteering (one of the students leads the group (leads the way and was in charge for all the members of the group)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We saw some footpath from foxes, deer\u2019s, muse, (wolf)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stopped at places for emergency shelter and places to build a snow hole<\/p>\n<p>On the way back we got lost and had to make our own path. Some students were really exhausted. For some parts we had to take off our ski\u00b4s and walked parts of the way.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We made Snowshoe tour (Where we improved our orientations skills in the dark)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We walked for an hour without light and waited till the moon rised<\/p>\n<p>4. Skiday<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We could choose if you want to improve our technique or if we want to go on a tour. I choose to go on a tour<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We had like everyday nearly perfect ski conditions, the sun was shining and we went on a beautiful tour. It was almost too warm to ski so we undress as many layers as possible and were still sweating in the sun.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After a nearly perfect week we went back to Kristiansand<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>General Outcome:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Trip to Evje was our first real Trip together. Many of us were really looking forwards to it and were really happy because of the weather- \u00a0and the snow conditions. Besides our first skiday in Jegersberg it was for many of us the first experience on skis.<\/p>\n<p>Our main goal was to improve our skiing skills especially on off tracks. Therefore we learned different skitechniques\u00a0 (see General Ourdoor Knowledge Skitechniques). We were a really heterogenic group with different experience on skis but in the end I think all of us improved their skitechnique and we were ready to ski on our upcoming trips.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal Outcome<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I gained a lot of skiing experience\/ technique out of this trip. The Telemark technique was for me something completely new and I enjoyed the good conditions to practice the technique. The theoretical knowledge about skis, the waxing of the skis, the first Aid and the packing helped me to prepare my gear for our upcoming trips.<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed the day trips on off tracks and was impressed by the untouched nature we explored. I am glad that we learned the ski techniques and especially the telemark technique on the first day, so we were able to practice them on our following daytrips. I improved my cross-country skiing skills especially in deep snow and I the telemark-turns in this week even though they weren\u00b4t perfect in the end.<\/p>\n<p>I learned a lot about the contents of my daypack when it comes to warm layers for the breaks or nutrition during the day trips. I felt never cold even if it was up to -10\u00b0 in the morning and I feel more competent deciding which items are necessary to pack and which only represent additional, useless weight. I really enjoyed the week and felt confident on cross-country skis on nearly every terroir.<\/p>\n\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"gallery_clear\"><\/div> \n\t\t<div id=\"gallery_318_1\" class=\"photospace\">
