Assignment 6: Holmenkollen Skifestival (13.03 – 15.03)

This weekend was the first real trip together with the norwegian friluftsliv students, apart from the monday trips. We all went by car, bus, hitchhiking to Oslo and met at the Fram museum. Once we had a look around there, we met again at the Holmenkollen, where we set up tents. I was totally suprised that there would be that much snow. I imagined a place, so close the the biggest city of norway with less nature. Just had some running shoes with me but it wasn’t that bad. I was in the tent with Sharon and Jolinda and it worked out better than I imagined. They prepared dinner and it was edible 🙂 In the two days it was open to everyone how much he wants to see from the festival. Because I got bored from cross-country skiing after the first time they passed, I read a book in the sun. In the evening there were parties between the campfires and the tents. Never heard of a festival in the snow before and enjoyed the nowegian way of life and the culture about the skisport.
