We were up in Trysil again this year for New Year's. We spent almost a week up at the house with the family skiing. The snow was nice and we had some beautiful sunny days as well. It was a bit cold at times, but that is pretty normal for Trysil. We had wonderful as always and enjoyed playing a lot of games. For the actual New Years eve it was Christer, Ingvor, Sven and I. We had a nice dinner and then waited for mid-night.

At the designated time there were a ton of fireworks. I was amazed yet again on how many fireworks there were. They just keep going and going. We toasted the event with champagne. We got up early the next morning for another quick run on the slopes. The fun part about this time of year is that it is still pretty dark in the morning. So if you want to get the first run and leave the house at 8:45am, it's a bit hard to see still. But they do have lights on some of the slopes so it does make it better. There is something great though about being the first ones out on the beautiful snow in the low morning light. Happy New Years!!
