Sep 8, You must login to Pinkbike. Don't have an account? Sign up. Unfortunately, his quest for speed meant he overshot the wooden bridge, resulting in a broken and dislocated ankle. Everyone at Pinkbike wishes Josh a speedy recovery. Here's my race run from yesterday!!!! Overshot the last wooden bridge, resulting in a bust foot Posted In: Videos Josh Bryceland. Author Info:. First Ride: Rocky Mountain Element views. Desert Delirium - Dario's Rampage Randoms views. Score Time Who Faved. Warren Sep 8, at Ratboy 'I didn't want to brake for that jump' Greg Minnaar 'I noticed' Rb: did you brake? Gm:I had a puncture rb: awe wank. Hilarious even with a broken hoof. He's faster on the corner compare to straight. Sad-ac1 Sep 8, at His 'aw wank' response had me in stitches. MTBLegend92 Sep 8, at Here's his foot at the hospital instagram. Poor rat. That was legendary. Such speed. Well in Gee for looking genuinley gutted for him. He broke his foot because he overshot the jump and landed to flat at some crazy speed. His foot was probably broken as it was wrenched off the pedal, not hitting the ground anyway. This is why I love the Syndicate. I don't think his pedal hit the ground. After watching the video above, which is awesome btw, it looks like his foot slipped backwards off the pedal on the landing. On impact the bike compressed down and the force of his heel dragging ripped his foot off the back of the pedal. Good luck on the healing Josh. Good thing he has balls of solid steel, otherwise that rear tire might've made things worse for him. I have raced bikes for 35 years and still cant believe the level of speed and control the top finishers have in such a difficult course. Wishing fast recovery to Josh and a BIG congratulations to everyone else at this level. This ride was a motivational speech to me. He may have lost a rainbow jersey, but at least he'll be immortalised on A Question of Sport's 'what happened next'? Bdusty1 Sep 8, at He 'will' be back bigger Get better soon Rat! I can't believe Gee gets so much shit off people on this site, yeah Ratboy would have taken the win if he hadn't flatlanded and ruined his foot but he did and he ended up second. Don't get me wrong, I wanted RatBoy to win because for me his is the epitome of what Downhill is but seriously cut the Gee man some slack. As soon as Ratty was over the line Gee went straight over to him to see what was wrong - he didn't celebrate, he wasn't punching the air or shouting and screaming - he knew RatBoy should have won himself and I think both Gee and Troy really showed their class in the way they acted after Josh crossed the line. True champions the lot of them. Peking like a chinese duck. The Gee dis actually went down the last weeks imho, which is good. Auxx Sep 8, at I love extreme MTB because most of the time people involved are super nice and caring for each other. When I raced my first ever DH race here in Latvia and finished last like a total noob every rider was cheering me! I see the same reaction here as well, fellow riders crashed, everyone is helping. No dicks in this sport! He's one of the greatest all round riders ever to walk the planet. Thats a great story Auxx. People wouldn't be talking about Gee if he wasn't so damned good… they do the same treatment to Gwin. Once you're a champ, it's open season. One of the funniest clips is when Gee in on top of a podium forget which race, last year I think and Josh his beside him asking Gee 'Aren't you going to sing? Always cutting up. Hotlanta, wasn't that at Cairns early this year? Watching Gee's post race interview when he is asked about Josh, it looks like he gets a little upset by being asked about him. Watching this vid, you can tell he is upset because his friend is hurt. I think they need to bring back the Atherton Project. Gee was pretty good craic in that and im sure he probably isn't much different now. We just don't get to see it. Plus all the tits giving him shit and talking about how Josh and Sam are the real spirit of mountain biking Gee is a boss. NimaG Sep 8, at Bennyrs Sep 8, at You didn't see that on the live stream. All it showed was gee smiling afterwards, but massive respect to him for reacting like that. Wouldn't get that in football or any other sport. Really nice from Tory at the end of the video when he came up to Josh and said 'good run, good run'. A few simple words but showing all the respect for Josh and the ride he has done. I just love this sport. Gooldylocks Sep 8, at So it's not like ha well you suck and he doesn't so in your face. She was genuinely sad he messed up. Bryce deserves a bunch of free shit from Hope, that was the biggest gas to flat ever. AdamOdh Sep 8, at From GoPro too. Best downhill gopro run ever! What a lad. He was overcome by the spirit of Adam Brayton. I can believe it how relaxed this lad is. This is world championship run and he's like 'whiiioooo' on the first jump like our 'gopro hero' Claudio. Would be great to put the Warner and Page commentary over the GoPro run. So, that instalment of 'This is Peaty' is going to be the most watced when it comes out. Josh Brycelandtoflatfrom20feetup. RatHunter83 Sep 8, at That episode should also have when the Syndicate guys ran on the track with their pants down during Claudio's course preview. Boom www. Nice job slanham! I love Ratboy! Love him. Add him to the list of landmark riders, Peaty Palmer, Ratboy However, I do have a pet hate when folk keep saying he woulda, shoulda, coulda won, we know that to be a given, or would it have been Sam Hill. We all know that DH is about fastest to the line and what happens on the way is what you do with your race run, a mistake and you lose. Our beloved Ratboy made 1 mistake and in this case it cost him the race and his foot. Ask Peaty with his many silver medals, the mistakes are all part of this Awesome sport. Ratboy didn't win because his mistake was way bigger than Gee's. Gee wins end of.. As long as Ratboy comes back to full health I wouldn't change then champs for anyone. Although I wanted Ratboy to win the historical awesomeness of the whole thing just has to stick. There aren't enough superlatives to describe how fucking brilliant downhill is, why it's not prime time simply boggles the mind. We get ski Sunday here in the uk through the skiing season, but DH is just way way better, way way more entertaining and way way more on the edge of insanity. I luv DH 4 lyf. I know we all secretly revel in it being a niche sport but it pains me that UK is dominating at the minute and yet the mainstream UK media would get more excited about an equestrian event. On the other hand if mainstream caught on then bike park wales would be booked up 6 months in advance instead of 3 so be thankful for what you've got. British cycling is kicking arse,but i didn't see any mention of any of the recent DH title wins in the papers. Meanwhile,a bunch of useless,over payed wankers will be on national tv tonight. Iamwarthog FL Sep 8, at Saxenalilhelperwcpete, All that talk must come from people with little to no personal experience racing themselves. Anyone that has raced a lot will understand exactly what you are talking about. Also, what would be the easiest way to increase the popularity of DH as a spectator sport amongst non-mountain bikers? Give Ratboy his own tv show. Pisses me off that cavendish, wiggins and froome are all houshold names and get a shitload of publicity whereas the uk downhillers hardly get a mention it should be the other way round the lycra wearing wankers. Don't be a cockle. Most of the DH riders you love will wear lycra also on road rides. Heres the compression. Monty Sep 8, at Holy crap. That could have been a massive crash. Props to the Rat for riding out of it. And into a silver medal. Jeez his poor foot! I cant believe he managed to put it back on the pedal. Curse of the commentator: Rob Warner literally seconds before uttered something like, 'Surely Ratboy has the Gold in the bag I keep saying to myself, if he only could have managed a few pedal strokes after the hit he might have pulled a gold medal out of his arse. So gutted for the Rat but he'll be back for , hungrier than ever! Also goes to show that a bike length or so less and he'd probably have been OK. Fine margins. This run was scary fast! One of the scariest looking runs I have ever seen!! RAT come back stronger! This year you found how to put down your best, ,,,and don't forget it! And the final conversation man, simply epic. One hell of a run, one hell of a track, and one hell of a rider, makes for a great and epic race and vid! MrFudgypants Sep 8, at And I absolutely love it that he is now on the very top of his sport, even with his 'this is fun' attitude! Love the attitude, love the person, love the spirit! Wish you a speedy recovery Rat! Skyale Sep 8, at Get well soon lad! Race organizers need to really take a look at the medics that are hired to look after these fellas. This individual just stood there looking around and didn't even stabilize an obvious injured extremity or even start an assessment. Not the first time I have noticed this. Owaind Sep 8, at Please Drift sponsor this guy, said no one ever! Heal up soon Josh and look forward to seeing you smash it next year! You smashed it this year. Ratboy is Gee with a wig. That is hilarious! I'd like to see Gee wearing the Ratboy wig too. What a run, was crazy to watch live. DJTC Sep 8, at I wonder why they put such a small, by Josh standards, jump, so flying Rat missed it completely. This is racing. Don't push the Rat to use his brakes on jumps. Maybe the courses need to get a little harder now that bike technology has improved and the top guys can put down more speed. With regards to the stuff up top, you have to keep in mind the variable conditions. It was very dry and fast this week so its easy to carry the speed and make the jumps look small. But if rains and slows things down, then all of a sudden you'd have guys casing everything if they made things to big. What you guys fail to remember is, that there is also a womens' and a juniors' part to the sport. Those are often struggling to clear those massive jumps. Also, racing means that you have to adapt to the terrain and not the other way round. Anyway, the fact that he rode this out without crashing speaks volume.. I really hope his injury is not as bad as it looks on those nasty pictures. Serious healing vibes, man. How fast! Growing up around legends obviously helps but I think Josh has added himself to the list this year! Get well soon Ratboy! Amazing race run and to still take second shows want might have been. Heal up quick Ratboy! Hopefully the operation has everything back in place neatly so he can defend his title properly. MTBcrash Sep 8, at He didn't break before the jump, just a pity he did after the jump Was a great run and one hell of a ballsy attitude to the last jump. He conducted himself so well, even when obviously in a lot of pain. Hope his recovery goes well and he's out having fun again sooner rather than later. Lilrumple Sep 8, at I love downhill. It used to be the case that riders would have to session parts to memorize their lines but now they can go over them time and time again the night before down to the nearest rut and tree root. So much so that they can thread the needle in some of the tech sections at warp speed. Some of lines Josh took at meribel were ridiculously precise. Gee's win will go down in the history books, but Nico's run and Rat Boy's finish will become legend. So gutted for Josh. I saw him in person in Cairns and he was THE nicest and most approachable guy of everyone. All the other racers are nice people too and no one was rude but Josh even went out of his way to reply to my 4 year old daughter who said hello while he was riding past us. Top bloke! So stoked he took the World Cup overall, heal up fast mate! DH seriously needs to replace football on Sundays. Makes me sick seeing all the money that's wasted on a bunch of roided out dudes acting like barbarians. Makes me even sicker that a professor on campus called my bike a fatbike today after seeing my maxxis 2. What the hell is the world coming too!? Everyone that ran that course as fast as these boys do deserves major respect in my mind! Look how fast he's travelling down those rock gardens it's another level completely! He's a solid dude in a crisis. Really taking care of his teammate. Rat:'did you brake? Say what you may about Gee, he was one of the first to go see how Josh was doing, all incredible people! PlebTheClown Sep 8, at My god just What The Fuck dude was on fire, I'm not sure why he'd even have brakes on his bike lol. Heal up quick Josh. Wish there was some way to get a bottle of Canada's finest over to you. You deserve it. Great run, thanks for posting your cam footage. Completely epic how calm you all were. You had 2 of the best possible medics helping you out. Mg14 Sep 8, at Lands flat , breaks his foot and rides it out!!! Loolover Sep 9, at Photo of Ratboy landing on his ankle: fbcdn-sphotos-d-a. Get wel soon, awesome Ride Ratboy, complete legend on all fronts this season. Great to see the syndicate family xmas on the Peaty vid. WTF is wrong with british media, Brit guys n gals are absolutely rulin the downhill and not a word, thank god for Redbull out there showing you off. If ever a man earned a set of wings! MikeyBikeyUK Sep 10, at I've often read people say stuff like 'The top pros just float down the mountain Now I do - the camera shakes more on the flats than the rock gardens. I've always loved watching Rat's flowy riding style and am so pleased it's translating into top drawer results finally. Awesome stuff. Every time I watch that video I cringe. I don't know how a human can ride that fast down that kind of terrain, but I do unfortunately know the feeling of watching a landing disappear behind you and hoping your suspension will take the hit as you stare at flat ground. He is lucky to have ridden away from that one. I just hope he's back next year, even faster. I'm also looking forward to the 'This is Peaty' episode IsaacGrey FL Sep 8, at Rat: 'I didn't want to brake for that jump' Greg: 'I noticed' All is said! JanB FL Sep 8, at Borro Sep 8, at I'm just wondering, is it possible to take average biker like me and under a heavy training, let's say in few or less years, produce such a great racing machine like Rat Boy? Or some need to be supertalented to achieve what the top guys have achieved? And I would gladly stay unnoticed through my whole life in exchange for his skills. It would be amazing to experience such speed on a track. Heavy training only takes you so far. You need to possess talents that very few have, let alone actually understand. They really are the best of the best. Lot's of people have flying licenses, very few get to fly fighter jets. Some people just have what it takes, this boy has it in spades. I dont agree with that, thats just what people tell themselves to make them feel better about their riding. Sure some people have more immediate ability than others but almost all of the top guys have more hours on a bike than you ever will. Its just dedication and going out and messing around on a bike for hours on end. Its also comes from a willingness to push themselves. Sometimes i think i do a lot of training and then i realise I haven't ridden a bike in a week. I'm pretty sure these guys never spend that long off a bike unless there is a reason for it. Its the same in all sports, Ronaldos team mates still talk about how he is the first and last person at the training ground, ie. So in answer to your question 'is it possible to take average biker like me and under a heavy training, let's say in few or less years, produce such a great racing machine like Rat Boy? To be at the top of the World Cup standings requires both insane hard work and amazing talent. I can practice all day, train with best trainers, be in the best shape, etc. Messi and Ronaldo work insanely hard but they have the next level talent that is needed to be able to refine and hone that through practice in the first place. The talent pool known as the UK is crazy deep. Here in Austria, we have the best training grounds the world has to offer- but the best DH racer can barely break through the top 20 in WC results. Pekoll trains and practices like mad, and I guarantee you more than Ratboy. But his talent and ability is simply far below that of the Rat. Narro2 Sep 8, at There's more than just training. There's also life balance, being able to separate training, screwing around, frienship, rivalry, racing, business, family, etc And there is talent, bodies are extremely different from one another so theres deffinitely a possibility that some riders are more fit for this type of riding than others. Also it comes to a question how to define talent? For some it would be strong mentality for others it might be ease of making rapid progress in riding technique. I remember once watching interview with Spanish climber Patxi Usobiaga. He stressed that his really strong side is ability to train as hell. Despite that one year he was beaten by a climber who was more focused on climbing, rather than on training 1. Well done. I believe that a small but neccessary part of top level success is natural 'talent'. For example reaction times, co-ordination, how well your muscles adapt to training, height can't help but think taller riders have the advantage of more suspension. However, commitment and mentality play a much greater role. Commitment; are you going to go and ride every single day, even when it's cold and miserable and the trails are washed out and riding like shit? Are you going to go to the gym when your muscles are still aching from yesterday's session and push yourself to the point of collapse all over again? Mentality: Can you switch off your instinct for self preservation and go up to the limits of control in rock gardens, off camber roots or muddy forest sections and keep it pinned knowing that you will crash and crash hard time after time after time? That's the difference. I agree with both of you in ways. I think when people talk about talent they tend to mean 'Oh his body is just naturally more able to do that than mine is'. That is what I disagree with. Particularly in sports like DH where there is such a huge variety in the body shape of the riders, it clearly isn't like long jump or sprinting where you usually need a particular body shape to be successful. I often hear guys talk about how their genetics wont allow them reach a certain level when there are women that are at higher levels than they are. I don't mean this in an insulting way but women are physically more disadvantaged than any man ever is so its not a valid excuse for most. Mentality and commitment are the two big ones for me. And you can train both of those things also. Its just a question of if you are able to do it or not. Mental training is harder than any physical training. Wingguy, taller riders definitely have more suspension, but that comes with the disadvantage of a higher center of mass. Hard to say what plays a bigger role. I like to believe much of the talent factor comes down to how fast ones brain can process the amount of information increasing with speed. Mainly visual information i guess, although there's sound and physical feedback too. And by processing of course i don't mean conscious decisions. That would explain why many racers seem to be rather good in multiple racing disciplines. Nico Vouilloz racing rally cars after downhill comes to mind. I'm not a racer but i know the situation quite well where i think i should be physically able to ride faster in technical terrain but i can't keep up with the visual input. My brain is just too slow. As for Ratboy His style through the rocks was incredible. I was so gutted to see him hurt himself like that. Hope he recovers well! And soon! Damn Josh was hauling ass! Everything around looked to be going by in warp speed! It's a shame he broke his foot and was less than half a second off from Gee's first place spot. Would have been awesome to see him win. Stevie Smith all over again. Can you heal from that bad a break over just one winter? Man, my heart sank at the end of that run. Get well soon rat. No rail box shirt but a legend in progress! Take care raty you are the Man. TwedL Sep 8, at He could've scrubbed like a mx on that jump! Crazy boy! Wishing for a speedy recovery Even when he blows it he's smooth Ratboy is sum lad that run looked speeded up. The boy's just a natural on any bike he happens to find himself on. Heal up quick boyo. Gutted for him. Frilko Sep 8, at Like Sam Hill at Val di sole. But great champions always bounce back up. He'll get it in the next 2 years for sure. Aksel31 Sep 8, at Give this V10 more suspension!!! That has to be one of the very best in eye run I've ever seen. The speed is just insane! I just can't stop watching this. I would like to see Sam's run too How Cam Zink walked away from his canyon bail I will never understand. Hope you heal up strong ratboy, we want you back riding! Beerswe Sep 8, at Josh you are this years winner in world cup DH for me! Hope you have a good recovery and be back on your bike soon, you are a beast Ratboy! Peaty and Minnar DaRoOo Sep 8, at Amazing run! Heal soon RAT. Fliberico Sep 8, at Get well soon dude, that run though was utterly quick!!! That is what true strength looks like Holy shit, that was fast! Heel up soon dude. TuTh-rider Sep 8, at Agreed - so fast right out of the gate. What if he had the old v10 in 10inch mode? Fucking respect J. Real warriors never stop till it's done Awesome job bro! Santa Cruz should strap a parachute to ratboy Hetman64 Sep 8, at EvilkiD Sep 8, at EvilkiD Sep 9, at Hard enduro dirtbikes is pretty sick too--like riding DH backwards. Hooked on dirt. UtahJohn Sep 8, at I had to stop the vid just prior to the landing. I can't believe how fast he went into that thing. Frankie4fingers Sep 9, at Ride hard or go home! Goo on rat boy you are a weapon! Get fixed up man. All the best. Lselby99 Sep 9, at Saw a feature on this on NBC this morning. Get better soon but it was pretty cool to see it in mainstream meadia! Brycelands run with commentary! Brosnan sticking his oddly shaped alien head into the field 'Good race, good race'?? Is there going to be a replay of world champs. CorrectoMundo Sep 8, at There is already: www. HardtailZero Sep 8, at ThePriory Sep 8, at Get well soon. That whole video just blew up my brain! Heal steady Mr Bryceland! Great to see the guys all support a hurt competitor. Fucking rockstar dude!! Get well soon Rat. Clefrigh Sep 8, at He could be in this situation: www. Olliieeee Sep 8, at Don't do a Stevie smith. Heal up Josh. You're an inspiration to everyone! Anyone have a video of him overshooting? Like from the sidelines? One of the best riders out there. Numnum Sep 9, at Tomahawk Sep 9, at Cusalabanjura Sep 10, at Skyppy Sep 8, at Gonna be all about hill and Bryce next year. If he was still on the 26' v10 with 10' of travel he may have just ridden it out???? Get well Soon rat boy.. Ed-Tyler Sep 8, at Anyone else hear the guy with chainsaw cheering him on? V12Chupa Sep 9, at Finishing second with a broken foot is a win in my books ACSlater Sep 8, at ACSlater Oct 12, at Such a shame! Gee knew he really lost the race too. Chin up ratboy!! Loolover Sep 8, at Sure, Gee wouldn't have won if Ratty didnt break his foot but seriously, give the man a break. Racing is racing and all on this website is people giving Gee shit. Either way, healing vibes Rat. Many people talk about it as if Gee was just given the win. He put in an absolutely amazing run. There are some sports where the professional bodies regulating the sport have to step in to reduce the risk that racers face when doing their job - racing. It looks to me like even the very fastest and best riders in DH racing are running an unacceptably high risk of getting down the track without serious injury these days. The UCI should at least look at what could conceivably be done to ameliorate the situation. Riders, of course, should have the last say. What are you talking about? Downhill is a dangerous sport and we all know it. By trying to make it safer you would most likely make it rubbish. Of course too bad that someone gets hurt while racing, but I think the core of any extreme sport is based on taking risks and, in the end, the athletes are the ones according to their experience, ability, self-confidence Unfortunately mistakes in this kind of sports always take their toll. How to make DH safer Make the bloody jump bigger haha. There is a difference between taking a risk yourself when you ride and having the most competitive professionals of a sport being forced to take unacceptably high risks with their own wellbeing every time they race. No serious sports governing or professional body can tolerate the latter situation. The cost of this race was one ankle and one neck brace and it should be plain that it could have been much worse. If it gets worse the credibility of the UCI will end up in the toilet. Of course making estimates of risk and how to deal with it are not so easy but that is part of the job of the UCI after all. They are not forced into any risk, all of the risk is totally up to them. Bryceland didn't have to jump that to flat. He chose to. Just like each and every rider chooses to go faster and faster every run. The UCI can do nothing about, and should do nothing about this. Even if they made tracks extremely wimpy, riders would push it to the limit and get hurt. I agree with jumps having consequences for coming up short, but consequences for over-jumping on a totally man made feature, I'm afraid not - it doesn't make sense. If Gee did say something about the landing not being right, good on him. Post a Comment Login or Sign Up. All rights reserved. Mobile Version of Website.

Hafjell reviews

Hafjell reviews. What do you think about Hafjell? Write a review. All apartments feature water-borne gas heating, which ensures a constant, comfortable temperature indoors and balanced ventilation. Extra insulated walls and windows save energy as well. All apartments are also equipped with gas-fired stoves. The large drop provides long nice slopes, a lift system that is easy to get around in. Not so well known in Sweden, you avoid the queues when Stockholm has a sports holiday. Can be highly recommended. Many slopes to choose from. Backyard is the children's favorite. Not many people in the first half of February. Lovely with the gondola that you can warm up in. Chose Hafjell for this year's sports holiday with the family, based on good reviews, praise from friends and good cross-country skiing. For my part, a slightly mixed experience during v. Lots of people, serious bottlenecks in the chair and the Mittstationsstolen which catches many slopes. The children, however, are happy. Icy on all slopes in the low zone but ok further up. It will probably be like that with many cable skiers. Ok with snow. I think the pisting was so-so, not all slopes were pisted. Also went in Kvitfjell and there were much less people and better piste. My assessment is that the place is worth visiting if not on holiday. The wish list is thinning forest. For me and us who also like to torture ourselves with cross-country skiing, accommodation is important, i. Awesome track system - Icy in the low zone make sure you have good piste skis. Got four really nice days in Hafjell before the whole place closed due to corona. A little snoopy. Really nice hills, lots of good reds. Really cruel piste and plenty of space everywhere. The only sad thing was that the big park was not open, nor was the longest black hill, the Olympics. Had you wanted to test We lived in the Alpine village, affordable and totally okay accommodation, ski in ski out - which we prioritized. A big misconception, however, was that there were no dryers! How did you think there? Will return to Hafjell for corona. Hafjell is a nice system with varying range of difficulty and nature of the slopes. If you want to feel that burning sensation in your thighs, you can advantageously run top to valley in one sweep, and the closer the valley you will also increase the difficulty level which can give a nice challenge even to the most trained skater. Humane prices at restaurants after all, Norway! Very good skiing for the whole family! Efficient lift system and lovely slopes. Hafjell, just north of Lillehammer, is a ski resort that does not speak much about Swedes. It will probably be a bit forgotten as it is not part of the ski area, which in this case is positive because you get a more personal and cozy atmosphere in the ski area. Hafjell is easily accessible along the E6 only 5 hours from Gothenburg and 7 hours from Stockholm, making it a least as good option as the larger neighbor Trysil. In Hafjell most accommodation is private and their own booking site is unfortunately quite bad. Significantly easier to access any independent housing agency, such as finn. Hafjell is proud to be Norway's most snow-safe ski resort and when we were there, there was really no lack of snow. As we started the way up after Lillehammer, there were soon impressive snow ranges along the road, and there was plenty of snow in both terrain and piste. Hafjell is not a huge system, but well organized and it is offered a really long ride. Have you picked up on the top where it can blow a little cold , then you have lovely walks in front of it either through long sweeping blue slopes, or you take the slightly more challenging road via the 'Bukspranget', where you also go the race OS If you are looking for a ride outside the piste, there are good opportunities for simpler forest skiing, but also a couple of places at the top where you can find untouched snow. As far as food and drinks are concerned, there is a lot of variety along the slopes. It does not look like a really cozy mountain chop, but they deliver what's needed in the form of food, hot chocolate and of course a beer if you like it. As usual, it is expensive in Norway, and although Hafjell does not have the highest prices, it is still fast to go shopping for a family with energy-filling needs. A big plus to the gas grills that are deployed around the system, where you can grill a meditation sausage or hamburgers with the opportunity to sit inside and out. The possibilities for after-ski are quite scarce and it is on weekends as it may be the matter of a little pressure. Our favorite place The lodge where they have a very good hot chocolate told us that most places have had to put down after-skin on weekdays when there are no people. This may be because almost all of the houses are cottages, where you also gather after a day on the slopes to have your own after-ski while meeting the dinner of the evening. Another advantage of Hafjell is that the sister town of Kvitfjell is also included in the lift card. Kvitfjell is located about 30 min north of Hafjell and is best known for holding world cup competitions in peak and super-G there every year. A bit smaller system, but with steep drop height and length of slopes. Hafjell is highly recommended. We went for a family with 2 adults and 2 children 8 and 11 and everyone was happy with the skiing. Have been three days in Hafjell week 1 and have been there for weeks through the years. I think the system is amazingly nice with incredibly long nice backs. There are various options to get down for all skiers and many ways to get around the system. The lifts are nice, especially the cabin. That you need two chairlifts and a tow lift to get from the bottom up to the top, say a bit about the size of the system. I am relatively well-trained and experienced skiers, but unlike most Swedish mountains, the slopes are so long and challenging that you can hardly hit a busy ride all the way down without pausing! Week 1 has always been one of the best weeks in the Norwegian mountains. Someone said that Norwegian schools get started right after New Year so there are unbelievably little people then. During the three days we stood for a couple of minutes in the elevator queue! Off piste is hard to find, but the little one that had had cm pads. Buying a card for a week, it is also in Kvitfjell that is a few miles away, there is more terrain to go in. For me, traveling from Gothenburg, the journey is 50 miles, of which 45 are highways. It gives a completely different feeling than lying and grinding behind a road raider on the country roads through Sweden! Toplists » Ski resorts. More » New snow in next 3 days.
