Buy coke online in Trysil

Over the years I have interviewed and chatted with many runners in bivouac and after racing who have done just that, they had applied simple logic and worked out what would work for them. Yes, they had taken advice, looked at websites, processed information but importantly they had found out what worked for them. They realized early on that they were an individual and as such, they needed a personal approach to multi-day racing and not a generic one. Not all multi-day races are the same, some are completely self-sufficient, some are semi self-sufficient and others are supported where all you need is transported for you. Must fit and be comfortable when loaded. Have enough room but not too much for all your equipment and provide easy access to fluid. You must also make sure that your race number is visible as per race rules. Think about additional pockets, such as a waist belt for snacks. Lightweight, packs small and warm enough. I would always recommend a sleeping bag and jacket as it offers more flexibility, reduced weight and reduced pack size. Read HERE on how to choose a sleeping bag. You just need what you will run in. However, a spare pair of socks is often commonplace and many runners have one or all of the following: a warm base layer, a lightweight down jacket or waist coat, buff and maybe long lightweight pants. At MDS that is 6. It provides comfort and importantly an insulating layer between you and the ground. Two options exist — inflatable and roll out solid foam. The choice is yours. The inflatable ones offer more comfort, more flexibility in packing but with poor admin, you do run the risk of a puncture. A solid foam Matt will last the week with no risks of problems but they roll large and need to sit outside the pack. If you are going on an adventure, taking part in a multi-day race or basically going on a one night jolly in the wilds somewhere, a sleeping bag is going to be an essential item. Choosing a sleeping bag one would think is easy… Go to a shop, find one that fits into your budget, purchase and use. Need Coaching or a Training Plan? Information HERE. A good sleeping bag is not cheap and going cheap is most certainly not a good idea. So, from the off, accept that you will need to dedicate a good portion of your hard earned cash. One sleeping bag will not work in all situations, however, if one is clever, one can make a sleeping bag adapt to other situations and therefore it is possible to increase the range of use and temperatures that a sleeping bag will work in. Extreme — the lowest temperature at which the average adult woman can survive. This rating comes with caution and additional consideration should be given if you plan to sleep in temperatures this low. Irrespective of what sleeping bag you choose. Layering for me is a key consideration when choosing a sleeping bag and this is one key factor that helps make a sleeping bag stretch over a multitude of uses and temperatures. See the image below. With the above diagram, you suddenly see how one sleeping bag can cover at least 5 temperature ranges and still provide comfort. From a personal perspective, I prefer a sleeping bag that is probably not quite warm enough as stand alone for my chosen environment. The answer to the above is actually part of the process and in some ways, part of the fun of what works for you. Multi-day desert races such as Marathon des Sables, require runners to carry all they need for the duration of the event. Therefore, weight is critical. However, desert temperatures can vary greatly. Some evenings can be mild and even hot. Other nights you can be blasted by wind and sand and the temperature drops to zero or below. If you purchase a sleeping bag that is warm at say zero, it is going to be way too hot at 10 degrees. The sleeping bag will also be heavier and pack larger. By contrast, if you had a sleeping bag that was good for say 5 degrees, not only will it be lighter, pack smaller but importantly it will be more comfortable in warmer temperatures. You then make the bag warmer, should you need by adding layers… hat, T, shorts, longer leggings and then finally jacket. A question is often raised about the need for a jacket? I personally think it is essential — they are perfect in the morning and evening when sitting around and importantly, they are that extra important layer if you get a cold night. From my drawing sample, you would be looking at 1 to 4. Yet most of us are still carrying bags much bulkier and heavier than we need. The principal of the desert applies to the Himalayas. But obviously, one would not use the same sleeping bag. The initial starting point will be a warmer bag that is obviously heavier and larger. Also, down would almost certainly be the choice. The layering would go from 1 to 5. In the evening, depending where you are and how high you are, the temperatures can be That is a huge difference and therefore you need a system that works over a huge range — this can only come from layering! NOTE: Both of the above systems benefit greatly from a good sleeping matt that provides a layer between you and the ground. This is an essential item in my opinion. Not only does it add a barrier, it importantly adds comfort. If you are comfortable, you will sleep better. The more heat you can preserve in a warm layer next to your body, the better. Choosing a sleeping bag is something very personal and we are all individual. You know you! There is a general rule with sleeping bags and down jackets, the more you spend, the better they are. But there are many options out there. Understand that when purchasing a sleeping bag that often it is possible to choose a size, just like when purchasing clothing. A UK based company PHD Peter Hutchinson Designs takes things one step further and can custom make a sleeping bag to your exact specifications and needs. A short zip with draft tube adds about 55gm 2oz : a full zip and tube adds about gm 4oz. Zips also add to the packed size. Sleeping bags are an essential piece of equipment. Choosing the correct one can make or break an adventure. Nobody likes being too cold, especially at night, so keep this in mind and embrace the layering system. Research the race and environment you are racing and check the highest and lowest temperatures. Remember, not two places are the same! Also understand the specifics of your adventure and what bag best suits your needs. To clarify on this, if you are going to the desert and the Himalayas, you will need two sleeping bags as the demands are very different. However, if you are going to the desert and then going back-packing in France in summer, the same sleeping bag will almost certainly work. A sleeping mat is a no brainer when it comes to sleeping. It adds comfort and a barrier between you and the ground. For example, in the Himalayas when the ground is frozen and hard, why would you not put a barrier between you and basically a hard block of ice. Please support this website.

Located just minutes drive from Marrakech approximately miles the National Park and the Toubkal summit has long been an excellent opportunity for those looking for a challenge, either for a specific purpose or as an add-on to an active holiday. As ultra-running, mountain running and the desire to explore new places grows. Morocco and Toubkal is a great place to adventure. Toubkal has two-seasons, Winter and Summer. In winter, summiting the peak brings different challenges as it is completely covered in snow and ice. Winter mountain skills are required and the use of crampons are essential. So, in this article, we look at Toubkal as a summer adventure and in due course, I will follow up with a Winter article. Flights to Marrakech are in abundance and if you plan ahead, you can get very good deals, particularly from some of the budget airlines. If you have not been to Marrakech before, I would say it is essential to soak up the atmosphere of the place by staying in the Medina souk in a typical Riad. I have several favourites. My advice would be, arrive Marrakech and then spend two days sightseeing. Visit the Medina, get lost and haggle for a bargain. There are many other things that one can do, but this is a good starting point. Depending on your budget, you can either get a taxi or a private car to the village of Imlil. This is the starting place for all summit attempts. A taxi will be euro and private car 80 euro. They leave Marrakech after breakfast, looking to arrive Imlil, say for 11am. There are currently three checkpoints that you go through and on each occasion your guide must provide your passport and the details are logged. Imlil to the refuge is designed to introduce you to the terrain and slowly adapt you to the altitude. Depending on experience and adaptation, Imlil to the refuge can take hours. Leaving Imlil, you have a narrow trail that rises quickly to a road and then the village of Aroumd. Here you will meet the first passport control and then you cross a floodplain before starting the climb to the refuge. The terrain is rocky and rough but not dangerous. Chamharouch is the next passport control and here you will see a large white rock that is a Muslim Shrine. Here it is possible to get water, food if required and soft-drinks such as Coke. The path now climbs steeply and gently reaches upwards, once again the terrain is rocky. You will arrive at two disused building that now sell drinks and here is the 3 rd and final passport check. Before you know it, you will arrive at the refuge located at m. Depending on what you have arranged with your guide, you will have a meal at the refuge and then you will stay in a shared dorm with all the other climbers. These dorms are often unisex, so be prepared. You also need to be self-sufficient in terms of sleeping bag, additional clothes and warm layers. The summit day will typically start at with breakfast and the intention will be to start the climb asap. Sunrise is approximately , so, depending on your projected speed, the guide will advise on a departure time so you can climb from m to m. In summer, the trail is very dry and although not a technical climb, Toubkal does have a great deal of loose scree and rocks. With the addition of the demands of altitude, the climb can provide an excellent challenge for someone new to experiences like this. Or, experienced runners and climbers can use it as a form of training. The trail goes straight up often zig-zagging to ease the gradient. Once at the saddle, the trail goes left and right. Here you go left for a final push to the summit. On a clear day, the views are magnificent and if you time it correctly, the sunrise can be truly magical. Importantly, be prepared for the cold. It may be degrees in Marrakech but the summit can be very cold and windy. Most arrive at the summit between and , you spend time soaking the views and taking photos and then return via the path you came. There is another way down, more on that later! Descending becomes easier from an altitude perspective, with every meter you go down, the easier it will become to breathe. However, I think many find the descent harder and more challenging than the climb. This is due to the loose scree and rocky terrain. If experienced, one can drop from the summit to the refuge in minutes. To clarify, there are no exposed ridges or real danger. It will just be a slip and a slide. Once back at the refuge, many take a break for lunch and they will look to descend back to Imlil in the afternoon via the exact same route they went up the previous day. The out and back route is approximately 22 miles. Once back in Imlil, it makes sense to book a local Riad, they are very inexpensive and serve great Tagine. If you are experienced or want a challenge. Imlil-Toubkal-Imlil can be done in one day. I have done this twice now, once in Winter and once in Summer. Most recently August I left Marrakech at I met my guide at We summited at midday and I was back in Imlil before 4pm in the afternoon. I had a car collect me and I was back in Marrakech before 7pm. The above is not for everyone, but for me, it was an ideal opportunity to fit an action packed day between holiday days, before and after in Marrakech. As option two, but from the summit it is possible to take another route down. This is a more challenging descent with some exposure, very loose scree and lots of technical rocks. In terms of distance, it is maybe a little less than the standard up and down route but it does offer more excitement! I took this route down on my first trip to Toubkal. It rejoins the path up to the refuge below Les Mouflons. During the day, shorts and t-shirt is ideal for the climb to the refuge. Shoes should be good trail running shoes with toe protection. Hikers will probably use walking shoes, approach shoes or boots. You will need a pack and in that pack a change of clothes, warm layers, a sleeping bag and the capacity to carry liquid and some snacks. Refuge to the summit and back can be cold and windy. Be prepared with a Primaloft warm layer, gloves, hat and wind proof pants and jacket. It is recommended to have waterproof just in case! I think poles for most people are an essential item. They will considerably help on the climb up and on the descent, they will add a security blanket. August for me is perfect. Marrakech is hot but has less tourists. Expect degrees during the day. Imlil to the refuge, temperatures will be somewhere between 15 degs at and 30 deg in the afternoon. May can still have snow, so, be careful. The refuge at Toubkal is a great place to liaise with in regard to booking. Mountain Guide — A guide will be approximately 80 euro per day and is payable in cash only. The Riad Atlas Prestige is located on the climb out of Imlil. It also very inexpensive at typically 30 euros a night for 2-people. The hotel is on booking. Morocco is safe. I have been travelling in different areas for over 7-years and I have always had a great time with wonderful experiences. Of course, there are cultural differences and as a tourist, it is we that must adapt. But, in Marrakech, there are so many tourists that pretty much anything goes. Taking photographs, one should be careful. The locals really do not like it, and this I know from first hand experience. Unfortunately, in December two girls were murdered between Imlil and Toubkal and this created a stir worldwide and locally. Hence the need for a guide and three passport controls now. I cannot emphasise enough that this incident was a one-off and to clarify, I have been back to Morocco and Imlil twice since this incident and at no point was I worried. An active weekend away or part of a longer trip to Morocco, Imlil and Toubkal is a real adventure and is highly recommended. For example, it would be quite feasible to fly from the UK for example on a Friday and return on Monday having visited Imlil and summited Toubkal over the weekend. For those with more time Imlil is also a great place for a longer stay. There are many trails to explore in the area and the place is a hidden gem. For those combining holiday and adventure, Imlil and Toubkal is a great active outlet amidst a more relaxed time in Marrakech. If you are planning to be in Morocco for longer than 7-days, also consider heading to the coast to visit Essaouira which is a 4-hour drive. Of course, the options are only limited by your imagination and budget — it is also possible to go and stay overnight in the desert and have a bivouac experience. The last time I toed the line with purpose as a runner was in It was at the Lakeland 50 in the UK. I was confident, I was really fit and in April, I had won an ultra in Turkey. Anyway, for much of Lakeland 50 I was near the front, that is until Ambleside and then it all fell apart with constant knee pain. My hopes of a top disappeared and I eventually crossed the line in 36 th place in My target had been to run around In retrospect, I should have been happy. I went away knowing that my knee issue had stopped me performing and it needing addressing. My knee injury was chronic and required two, maybe three operations. I declined all knowing that knee surgery success is hit and miss. So, ever since, I have managed that pain, changed my goals and loved adventures. I still get pain, but I manage it. So, all is good. I am happy to do what I can. I run regularly, daily sometimes and even now, km training runs are a regular. But walking has always been something I have used to keep moving and rather than it being a negative, I always made it a positive. Well, I started running after cycling and triathlon. I have to say, I have never considered myself a good runner. I dropped my marathon PB to which was creditable but in doing so, I lost the true reason for running. I was obsessed by my running. I must clarify, I was previously obsessed by cycling and triathlon and that is why I stopped…! Being a photographer and journalist has allowed me to look at running in many different ways. I mostly follow the elites, but multi-day races, such as Marathon des Sables, allow me to follow runners achieving a life time goal. I must clarify, achieving a life time goal may be a 5km, 10km, half-marathon and so on. I use longer distances as this is the area I usually deal in — ultra. I have learnt since that I normally complete anything I set my mind to in sport and the reason for that is strategy, planning, getting the mind in the right place and yes, embracing walking! So much truth here… For me anyway. As the time has passed from I have worked on races worldwide and all of those races have required me to have a level of fitness. For example, Everest Trail Race, I do pretty much most of the race with cameras — it is the only way. In I have done more multi-day adventures than ever before; regularly moving in a self-sufficient with tent way for over a week. A recent trip to Jotunheimen in Norway lasted 9-days and in Trysil, I completed km in 2-days with an overnight wild camp. So, all is good! Walking is often looked on as a negative. The reality is, if walking is embraced, learned and practiced, finishing times will not only get faster but more enjoyable. For perspective, we now include walking as a key training element at our Lanzarote Training Camp HERE with a specific walking group and one day dedicated to a long walk, for all! If there is not, there should be! Firstly, with my coaching clients I ask them to walk 5km and time it. We then look at technique and discuss how to get faster. Now of course, many variables come in to play — terrain, weather, climbing and descending to name but a few. But let us assume flat terrain, good weather and fast trail. Once we get the walking of 5km in under mins, I then add running. Firstly 1km. So, walk 5km and run 1km. Once that fees comfortable, I add another 1km. Like any plan it is progressive, starting with walk 5 and jog 2. Then walk 5, jog 2, walk 5. Then, walk 5, jog 2, walk 5, jog 2 and so on…. This teaches the mind to break down distance and time in manageable blocks. You can focus on the walking, knowing that a jogging break is coming up. You can endure the jogging, knowing that a walking break is coming up. Suddenly, you are doing a 6-hour marathon with actually only maybe minutes of total running. So, if that pace is maintainable, you could do miles in sub hours and maybe even miles in the desirable sub hours! Here is an example and of course, pace fluctuates based on terrain conditions, but it provides a good perspective. Mathys was let off with a warning as the drug was being taken in the hope of getting pregnant. Both Jornet and Mathys won from the front, surging to the lead on the challenging early uphill. That seemed to bring the best out of the athletes taking to the starting line at the fourth stop of the six-race Series. Mamu received a nine-month ban starting on 19 September after admitting to the findings and co-operating with the IAAF reduced from 2 years. All results of his following 30 July were cancelled. The substance being a medication normally used to assist with Asthma. American runner Jim Walmsley Team Hoka , competing for the first time at Sierre-Zinal, was 3rd in an impressive Kilian Jornet grabbed the lead a few strides into the race and was alone from there on out. The course gains 2, meters from the start in Sierre to the finish line in the idyllic alpine village of Zinal, rolling along before a big downhill finish. Jornet wasted no time letting the competition know he was going for broke. At the Chandolin checkpoint he was ahead of Mamu by two minutes and in hot pursuit of the course record set by Wyatt in I have big respect for the record of Jonathan. He was a leader of the sport so to follow in his footsteps is a great feeling. This is special of all the victories. Jornet set his sights on the 31km Sierre-Zinal race with a dedicated training regimen that he knew was necessary if he was to approach the record of Wyatt. He scaled back his racing schedule this season to focus his training in an attempt to see just how fast he could be. This year, the goal was to give everything and not have to worry about recovering for the next race. And I was six minutes faster than my best time here so it seemed to work. Her time of was five minutes ahead of fellow Swiss Judith Wyder Team Salomon who finished in , and it broke the former course record of by five minutes and six seconds. Wyder was also under the former record by six seconds. Mathys was 3rd at the Dolomyths Sky run in Italy a couple of weeks back, but on Sunday she used her strength in the uphill to put distance between herself and the field in the early going. She was more than three minutes ahead at the Chandolin checkpoint and was never seen again by the rest of the pack. She finished in The elite runners of the Golden Trail World Series are trying to earn points in the season-long chase for a spot in the Grand Final, which will take place in Nepal in October.

When you break a race down, particularly a self-sufficient race, key things are really important: Pack Must fit and be comfortable when loaded. Sleeping Bag Lightweight, packs small and warm enough. Clothes You just need what you will run in. The reality is, the above is far from the truth. Sleeping bags mainly use two fillings: Down or synthetic such as Primaloft. Down: Is lighter and the weight to warmth ratio is higher. It packs smaller and can be compressed to a very tiny package if required. Down however cannot get wet. If it gets wet it all sticks together and will offer no warmth at all. Down is expensive and one should make sure that if purchasing down that it is ethically sourced. Primaloft: A synthetic product, it is heavier and packs larger than down. The first questions one should ask are: Am I using the sleeping bag in a dry or wet climate? Is the weight of the bag really important. Normally the answer here is, if you are carrying it, yes, the weight is important. Do I need the sleeping bag to pack as small as possible? Do I need the bag to work in one or more situations? Another way of looking at this is, do I need to compromise on points to get value for money. Ask some personal questions: Do I sleep warm? Do I like to be warm and if not warm, am I miserable? Am I prepared to be a little cold to be as light as possible? Do I need a full-length zip, half-zip or am I happy to have no zip? Consider other factors: If you are tall, wide, have big shoulders etcetera, etcetera then some sleeping bags will just not work for you as they will be too small. Layering: Irrespective of what sleeping bag you choose. Sleeping alone. Sleeping bag, T-Shirt and shorts. I know that I can get warm by incorporating layers. How do I know what layers I will need and what about additional weight? Understand that we are all individual, what works for one, does not work for all. Subscribe Subscribed. Sign me up.

Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. Just on my last evening here after a week's family ski holiday to Trysil in Norway. This was our first time in Norway and I was slightly hesitant about booking Xmas week in a country where everyone seems to dismiss it by telling you it's expensive, dark and cold. But having had a really enjoyable week, the positives certainly far outweighed any downsides. The Norwegian countryside is beautiful. Trysil and surrounds are nothing like the mountainous Alpine peaks so less dramatic views but it is full of tree-lined hills and peaks for miles around. Catch it in the sunlight and you get some stunning sights. Trysil itself starts off at m so very low compared to Alpine resorts, it tops out at m. However, given it is much further north, altitude becomes less important. There was decent enough snow cover before we arrived and during our stay. We only had rain rather than snow at town level one day, other times it ranged from slightly damp snow to feathery white stuff higher up not dissimilar to my memories of Morzine. The snow line was never far off. Wind high up caused a few problems but much of the pisted area runs through the trees which shelter you from the wind and break up any flat light. Pistes were very well maintained, some nice wide areas, rarely busy and finding you had the piste to yourself wasn't unusual. Likewise, lift queues - until the Friday and Sat when people started to arrive for New Year's week - were fairly non-existent. The lift system is efficient although I do wonder why modern resorts still bother with T bars?!? True, the ski area isn't huge but as this was a family trip and never meant as a hard-core ski holiday, there was plenty to entertain us. Trysil is made up of 3 main areas across the same mountain, each of which can be easily accessed from the other. I'm not into off piste so can't comment on that although there was some fun to be had playing around in the trees between pistes. A big plus is the layout and accessibility of the resort. We stayed at the Radisson Blu, the ski room leading right out onto a nursery slope then button lift up to the main chair. Alternatively, a covered escalator would take you effortlessly up the yds to the same lift. The ski hire is close by and staff were very friendly and efficient, happy to change skis for free during the stay the OH swapped hers for blades after a couple of days. Ski boots were the best I have ever hired and helmets provided free of charge. As for the short days, lifts in Dec open at 9am and close at 3. Light wasn't really a problem, daylight was good until at least 3. As for the cold, maybe we were lucky but lowest temp all week was minus 3, often around the -1 degree mark in the day. I've certainly been much colder in other places, even with a bit of wind chill. The Radisson is a very smart hotel fantastic buffet breakfast , we booked a 2 bedroom apartment which was well appointed and had plenty of space. I would certainly stay here again. As for price, the total cost was relatively comparable to big French resorts. However, buy your wine and spirits from duty free at the airport and job done. Eating out could be expensive but all depends where and what you wanted. We found we were full up from breakfast taking the obligatory supplies back to our room for later so didn't need to spend extra on lunch - cheapskates that we are. Overall, I was really impressed by what Norway had to offer as a ski holiday. I would certainly come back. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Hi, cracking report, thank you. We are off to this hotel in Feb half term and can't wait. Like you, we are a family and alcohol not a big issue, but will get a couple of bottles of wine in for the room. We'll also definately be using our 'doggy bag' routine I had heard that the leisure facilities and bowling alleys were expensive so don't know how much we will use them. Just wondering if you used ski school and if it was any good. The kids have done one week in learners ski school in Austria so they are the next stage up. I really need to work on my confidence so am considering ski lessons too. Is there anything you would do differently next time. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? Always the way! Yes Norway can be ridiculoulsy expensive, but who really cares when you have mountain-side hot chocolate!! While we are on the subject of Norway has anyone been corss-country skiing there? I had a family holiday once at Finnmarksvidda, and it was absolutelz incredible. Skiing in the day and reaching little empty shack furnsihed and dry with supplies, to spend the night in. No Hot choco but still def worth a try. You need to Login to know who's really who. Feb should give you more daylight hours and the snow seems to keep on falling. I'm sure the temps will keep low enough to retain the snow base from now on. I think we had slightly unusually 'mild' temps during our week but have heard the temps can be far more extreme. We didn't have lessons this year as the kids are fairly proficient teenagers now so I can't comment on the standard of lessons etc. As for building your confidence up, the pistes are nice and wide on the whole, there are plenty of reds and blues to cruise on. Unusually for us, we booked via an agent ski safari who were very good in all honesty. However, they advertised discounted early booking prices on lift passes and ski hire which I would have booked until I realised on the resort website that their 'discounted' price was actually the normal price. Might be worth scanning the website for any offers. We booked 6 day lift passes for each of us, they charge less for teenagers and young kids are free, same for ski hire. I would recommend Ski Star's own rentals. Very close to the piste and best boots I've ever had, most kit looked new. I booked and paid for lift passes in advance and they posted them to me in the UK a few days later. As said, the hotel is great. The lobby is really welcoming with a bar and casual relaxed area, reindeer and sheepskin? There is a choice of pizza restaurant not bad value tbh , burger bar we didn't try it , a buffet restaurant great choice of cold starters - meat, fish platters, great salads, pasta, all fresh and plentiful. We tried the Big Horn! Food can be expensive but worth noting in the hotel that they charge half price in the buffet for teenagers and quarter price for under 10s. Breakfast covered every palate and style, cooked, continental, fresh fruit, cereals, meats, cheese etc or all of it! Everyone took stuff out with them for snacking later. Have you arranged transfers to resort yet? We took the Trysil Express. Very comfy with free wifi and took about 2hrs 45mins. Had a 2 hr wait in Oslo for the transfer coach to arrive but found a Starbucks with free wifi 2 teenagers can't cope without wifi for more than 5 mins!! There is also a duty free on the arrivals side so can top up duty free once you have landed. What room type have you booked? We had a 2 bedroomed appartment, very spacious and well designed. Some of these ie ours seem to be privately owned and leased back to the hotel. These don't seem to be covered by daily housekeeping but you get all the other hotel functions. Had I known this in advance I would have queried what it entailed and the difference compared to other rooms we went through a travel agent so didn't think to query it. The pool area is free of charge, this included one jacuzzi and a dry sauna. The pool is large with some oversized fun floats for kids, underwater currents, a climbing wall over a plunge pool etc. The sauna is mixed gender but for the British prudes amongst us, you will be glad to hear it was strictly cossies on! We didn't try the bowling though. I would say the hotel is good value for the quality it offers. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you have any more questions. Have fun! Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. Steffa , Oh yes, when I'm freezing my bits off, give me a hot chocolate and cake! You'll need to Register first of course. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports It's worth noting that you can buy duty-free on arrival at Norwegian airports. Spirits and wine there are probably still more expensive than buying on departure from Britain, but it's a good way of picking up some reasonably priced beers. Half the flight, Norwegians included, seemed to do exactly that when I went there. After all it is free. I'm there. I'm considering Tyrsil and Hemsedal - anyone know how they compare? You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Thanks so much Damobloke1 - so helpful. We booked through Absolutely Snow and are staying in a 2 bed apartment I think its deluxe as it was on a special offer when we booked and on half board. We went for this option as we had read so much about things being expensive, though no sure which restaurants will be covered. I will be packing my usual sandwich bags for 'doggy bags'. Transfers are included. Good to know in advance so that it won't come as a shock. Having said that, we stayed in an apartment in Austria last year and ours was on the top floor which was up 49 steps always a worrying clue when people can tell you how many steps they had to climb! The pool sounds fab; I hadn't realised it had all that. Also, that it was included in the price - I just assumed you would have to pay as I remember someone saying on trip advisor when I looked last year that they had to pay exras for everything. Do you have to wear swimming caps as you do in some European countries? Will definately book skiis in advance and from the quick look I've done, Ski Star do seem to be the 'big boys', so will monitor that. The kids are 12 and 9 so probably won't get any discounts as they seem to be inbetweeners. Pathetic as it sounds, one of the reasons I've chosen this resort is that it has plenty of green runs and I think the blues are quite gentle too. I lost a lot of confidence last year in Austria and just need to build it back up I think, at least in the first day or so. A lot of the ski-in-ski-out places were on reds to the accomodation so that would be pointless for me, but this hotel seems to have an easy slope for me so that should be good. Am currently abstaining from anything over 10 calories so that I can get my ski boots on as I've filled out a bit since last year, but I think that hot chocolate is in fact compulsory on holiday so darn it. I will definately be buying some alcohol at the airport - this really does seem the best option, although with the trek up to the hotel, perhaps I'd better think that one through a bit. Think that's it for now!!! Ski the Net with snowHeads. All seemed very good spec. The half board option gives you access to the buffet, pizza restaurant and burger bar, I think. Not sure if HB includes drinks? Pool area is definitely free. Flowrider has certain sessions at fixed times in the day. If there are less than 4 of you, make sure you book when other people are already booked it takes up to 8 per 1 hr session or else you will have to pay for a minimum of 4 people. The Norwegians seemed very relaxed about most things. As for access to green slopes from the hotel, this is easy. Seem to be more greens on the other side of the mountain but the blues on the main slopes are relatively gentle. Helmets are included in the price. I did note that just about everyone wears helmets - much different to my experiences in France. Plus they keep your head warm! Brilliant; thanks again for the info - so useful. Hubbie very relieved about the swim shorts as he hasn't worn Speedos since the 90's. Not sure if drinks included but I think kids will be learnin the art of not guzzling coke's while we are there. Thanks again. And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. Part of my OCD I suspect! Norwegian blokes do seem to like to strut their stuff in the locker rooms though, naked men lining up in a queue to use a shower was a bit So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. Awsome - nothing wrong with being OCD, especially if it is this helpful! Hmm, naked men lining up to queue for a shower - really looking forward to the hols now! Cheers again. You know it makes sense. Damobloke1 at great write up for Trysil, to the point that the wife has said she's sold and we're now looking at booking for Christmas It'll be our first skiing holiday as a family and I'm thinking about booking it all myself, any advise for a novice at booking a ski holiday? Is it worth the hassle, ie is there a saving etc? Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. GT , yes, you can save by booking yourself - you can book ski passes and ski gear online and save money. But it's a bit of a hassle. If you book through a TO it'll be easier, less hassle but more expensive. I also get the impression that Xmas is v busy in Norwegian resorts, so you'll need to book flights and hotel etc. They posted the passes to me in the UK - no hassle whatsoever. An efficient service. The resort website has lots of hotel deals advertised or you can simply book direct with the hotel. I didn't see any obvious price difference between what the TO charged and what the airline SAS and hotel Radisson charge. The benefit of booking flights and hotel via a TO is protection via ABTA etc which you may not get if done independently but I am no expert so other SH may advise differently. Xmas week in terms of the numbers of people in the hotel and on the piste was relatively quiet, the weekend after Xmas was noticeably busier as people arrived for New Year. But New Year is a peak week in most ski resorts worldwide. I wouldn't think there is a need to rush buying flights and booking hotels but no harm if you know your dates etc to get the best price. As for transfers, take the Trysilexpress. Really good service, comfy, free wifi etc, 2. There is a timetable and price list on the website. Good value too, no need to get a hire car. They are very responsive if you want to correspond via email. Just check the timetable before you confirm flights as we had a 2 hr wait on arrival in Oslo but not a big deal. I'm jealous already! Time to get booking Thankyou for that report. I was wondering about Trysil, it sounds far better than lillihammer hafjel where we were, which was expensive and very boring in the evening. I do like Norway though so it would be interesting to try Trysil with the children. You are right I will be bringing my run with me in the suitcase. Steffa I've done about 7 weeks cross-country holidays in Norway, and agree with you that it's fantastic. Though I've always wimped out of hut to hut touring because I ski better having slept in a comfy bed than a DNT hut. Well we're definitely going Hotel's and plane tickets are both booked. We got a pretty good deals on flights through BA, so no phaffing with driving round to Gatwick and booking the hotel couldn't have been easier. A couple of emails twixt the hotel and I and it was all sorted. Let the countdown begin. Passes arrived today. Far cheaper than buying through TO probably because of the exchange rate getting better. We've ordered our passes and hire stuff online but I think we just print it off and take it. Hope so, as we've not received anything. Does anyone have any advice about ski school? We are looking at kids ski school from Tourist Centre and a couple of private lessons for me and OH. I can't find out times though and I read a report that said that you couldn't book kids school at the same time as other lessons, which would be a real pain for us. Did anyone book a similar arrangement and if so, how did they do it I've emailed but had no response? We're off later this month and can't wait. The snow conditions are looking fab so should be good. Can't wait to wake the kids up at silly o'clock for departure: ; it's put a real spoiler on our holiday, especially as we'll have to go to bed at about 9pm. On closer inspection there is a later flight which we would definitely have gone for but presumably not as much commission for the TO. They messed up the hotel booking too. Definitely book independently in future!. Hey ho. You should get them weeks before departure, according to the resort. I haven't booked ski school yet - will probably book through TO, because the resort website wasn't offering good times. We're off on Sun 16 Feb so we should get them soon. I know what you mean about times, they don't look good and we aren't sure what to do; may have to ring them ourselves - wouldn't trust our TO to book a swimming lesson let alone ski lessons! Everyone speaks ridiculously good English. Good luck. I just did thanks and can confirm what you have said and they are looking into it. Once again, another country puts us to shame on the language front. Sorry to be a pain but I'm a bit paranoid about helmets. Skistar say that helmets are provdided free with ski's but they also mention on their website that they don't guarantee that helmets are always available. My first worst nightmare is that they don't have a helmet for one of us in stock. The second is, as before, and that we have to buy one there. It looks as though it is one of the most expensive countries we will visit, so buying one would be a big problem for us. Therefore, I spoke to a chap there who said yes there isn't a problem. He finished by saying yes, there isn't a problem!!! Does anyone here know or should I post it elsewhere on the forum? Beg, borrow, buy one in the UK if you are worried. Get one that fits and take your goggles when fitting. Helmets come free with every booking so I would imagine they have as many helmets as customers. Hope you have a great time - looking forward to your report back. Plus, the benefit of an early flight is being able to get all your kit sorted the day before you ski. The TrysilExpress coach is comfy and should allow you time to catch up on zzzzzz. Thanks so much damobloke1; really helpful. I hadn't realised SkiStar is such a large outfit. I've spoken to them and they are being so helpful. Like you say dobby, I may well buy some from Sports Direct this week anyway as thinking long-term, it may work out for the best. Udamobloke, ufortunately the early flight is on the return trip so apologies in advance to anyone we might wake up in the hotel for shouting at grumpy kids!!! Snooze on the bus looks like a definate plus. Will report back. I did note the bus leaving at 4. The journey back does take a bit longer as there are more stops. Could be worth trying to contact the airline direct to see if they would offer a change of flights? With such an early start, the hotel will give you a doggy bag in lieu of breakfast basic stuff but worth asking for it. Been to Trysil Hemsedal and Geilo and i would say that trysil has the edge, but they are all utterly gorgeous. Cant imagine skiing anywhere else. This is an old thread, but I'll will be using all this info to book. Trysil does not look good at the moment! Go northwest, not notheast in Norway. Looks like rain and melt for Norway in the next week or so, like the Alps. Very warm. The suggestion was Voss - Myrkdalen - about a 7 hour drive from my sister's place.. Snow on the radar screen every day this week in Myrkdalen. Seems to have some nice freeriding possibilities and good for a couple of days of laughs, which is all we need. We will have had 14 days of Tignes by then A sort of unknown phenomena here lately in Tignes As Myrkdalen gets much snow every year you can ski there very late in the season. But yes, not a large area and laying of the main track. New Topic Post Reply. Snow Snow Snow!
