Last stop before CPH - SK926

I am now in DC, which is my last stop before returning to Copenhagen – Denmark. Thursday afternoon I will get on SK926, which will land in Copenhagen Friday morning at 07:15.

See you in CPH.

Last night in Salt Lake City

I am now back in Salt Lake after a “small” road trip to California. Tuesday night was my last night in SLC, and I had invited as many people as possible for a bowling tournament at campus. We had a lot of fun, and it was great to say goodbye to all of them.
The bowling tournament was a dual between Oystein and I, it was close, but I won with two points and a score of 153.
During the game we tried some different techniques, which eventually had us concluding that there is a reason why those techniques are not used by any professionals.
Wednesday morning I am heading to Washington DC.

Here are some pictures from our road trip to California. I don't have much time before leaving SLC, but I will write more in two days.

Sitting on the Jazz bench!

Well I did actually sit right behind it, but it felt like being on it, when being able to hear everything the coaches and players said. It was Sandra and Randy Okland that had invited me to the game as out last night together before I am leaving SLC in 8 days. They had four tickets and I invited Mike, whom was our host at the ranch outside Zion National Park during our fall-break trip. Jazz beat the Bucks in the fourth quarter and are looking better now, but they are still not in the playoff, so they have to step it up the next month.
There is always a lot of entertaining going on during the many breaks. Cheerleaders is one of my favourites, and what better than having them dancing and a bear shooting t-shirts 30 meters into the air with a gas-gun of some kind! I got my self a Jazz t-shirt, which you can not really see, however, what is important is that it was a gift from my two cousins back in Denmark and their families – Thank you.

Snowmobiling outside Yellowstone

Sunday Manuel and I rented two snowmobiles for half a day. Wow – that was fun. Besides from Manuel going over the edge and getting stucked in the deep snow, which took us two hours to get him out of, it was so cool. I really felt at home on the snowmobile and hit 54 mph on a strait trail. The trails were fun to ride, and they were very beautiful with the snow covering the trees.

Yellowstone!

Manuel and I wanted to go and see Yellowstone. We drove up Friday after the sun had gone down behind the mountains, which was kind of disappointing, since we thought that it would have been a beautiful ride in daylight, based on the road twisting as if being in mountains. When we game closer to West Yellowstone, the roads got smaller and were covered with snow; however, the trucks going the upper site direction did not seam to care!

West Yellowstone looks like something from a movie taking place in Alaska. Every road is totally covered in snow and everyone including us was driving on the roads with our snowmobiles.The snow-covered roads make it an ideal place for making hand-break turns. We probably made about 50 of those. I prefer the ones when you make a 90 degree turn and has to continue down a street or when parking between cars. (I made Manuel a bit nervous a few times, but he admitted that I nailed it every time when parking!) This is how the back of the car lookes after the first day!
Here are some pictures from inside Yellowstone National Park: We had to dig out our couch from the deep snow, here is Manuel doing a good job.

This is the biggest snow couch on mattraks in the world!

Here am I in front of Old Faithful, which is the main attraction of all the geysers.

Friday skiing at Snowbird

Friday was only going to be half a day of skiing, since Manuel and I was leaving for Yellowstone. Felix, Matthias, and I went up to snowbird and we found some of the best powder. Just take a look at the pictures, which again is a little sequence from me skiing!

Thursday skiing in Park City

Today Manuel and Matt join the three of us for some nice skiing in Park City. This was our first day with out snow showers and the sun came and same hello a few times. The runs and back country is not as steep as some of the other resorts, but it was nice, and we had another fantastic day. Matt is a ski patrol in Park City and he showed us around. It was just like having one of the Løvgreens with us. (SAS Ski Club joke/fact)

Wednesday at Canyons

Looked to be a sunny day, but at soon as we got out of the car the snow started to fall, and we had the best powder day of the whole week. Canyons is a great resort, it is big and the terrain is steep. We had an amazing day, and I will upload some videos here soon.

I have just stepped out of my skies to see how deep the snow was!
As you can see it was kind of snowing.
