First day in Breckenridge

After cruising Walmart and Safeway for breakfast I got on the bus to Breckenridge in the snowy weather. Bus-stop outisde the motel. New skis is never bad! This is the last one. I would guess easily 25m to the knuckle. New pants, with autosag straps. In Breck you have several options when it comes to terrain-parks. This is the park-lane (Medium park) and the most fun one too. They are making snow like nothing I ve seen before, and pushing snow all day with cats....

Oslo ? Colorado

Oslo – London. Fortunately it only took 15 minutes before we were airborn. Not even full-booked plane, and plenty room for my legs. I took two sleeping-pills just after the dinner, and woke up just 3 hours before arriving Denver. Just enough time to watch Roger More in an old James Bond movie! Not even stressed and tired after the long trip. I got my baggage at once, and the passport-controll was quick....
