Downhill skiing in Romme Alpin

"Los Svensson" went skiing with friend and pro-skier Karina yesterday. It takes about two hours and a half to get to Romme, situated just outside Borlänge in Dalarna. Since we did not have any equipment, except for cool goggles, we (me, that is!) had to rent skis, poles, boots, helmets - the works. The process of renting equipment did not take long, just about ten minutes actually. Then, to get from the rental office to the kids' slope took about 30 minutes... Downhill skis are made for going downhill, as the name might indicate, not for going cross country! The kids' area is as far away from the parking lot and rental office you can come. Thank you for that, Romme Management team! We were all pretty exhausted when finally arriving at the slope. Now you might think, "What nice parents to think of their children and take them to the kids' slope" but it was actually as much for the kids as for us, Silvia and I are not pro-skiers...


Watch out!

It became clear quickly that Gabriela loves skiing, she got a bit ski-crazed and did not want to leave Romme at the end of the day. Karina and I took Gabriela to highest peak, Snöklinten I think it is called and she managed to ski down, of course with help from us but what an amazing effort considering it was the first time ever Gabriela had skis on!

It was a great day, especially since we all managed to come home in one piece!

Silvia was easily recognized being the only 100% pink skier in the whole resort!

Det såg mkt kul ut, härligt att åka slalom, särskilt efteråt när man tahit av sig pjäxorna och öppnat en kall öl i bastun.

Sant, så sant! Jag har hittat till min bastu under trappen förresten; har bastat två gånger på en vecka. Otroligt skönt att sitta därinne, känna lugnet, den lite rökiga bastudoften, värmen och dricka en kall pilsner!
