Thunder Thursday
I had a really nice Thursday, enjoying hard, well prepared pist before I headed to Norddals. At Norddals I spent a nice afternoon, hiking and skiing lines I never skied before. Finishing of a superb day I went skiing with Hjalmar at the afternoon.

Shitty pics
Mattis had a plan, a plan to take a photos over the old shit house near the pist, near the old Apothek. Said and done... Mattis arranged some flashes and Pärra, Sam and me took turns on jumping over it.

Spring time
Springtime in Riksgränsen, slushy and flatlighish at first, then better and better weather, but of course cold… Good pist and challenging to say the least offpist skiing in the resort. But hiking on norddals has been good. The nice ski photo is from Mattias Johansson from last year.
The jump pics is from the annual Pelikanflyget, a big jump contest. Sadly my pics doesn't show how good performances it was, doubble flips, spins and a teletubbie. On the evening we celbrated the spring with skiing down with torches and singing to welcome the spring.

Erik Lundström (1977-2011)
Saturday Erik Lundström died in a skiing accident (http://www.gd.no/nyheter/article5581221.ece) I heared the sad news Sunday.
"Just remember you have to go really, really fast!" hör jag Erik ropa när jag stakar iväg nerför starten till King of the mountain i Andermatt ifjol. Ett av många citat från Hot Rod som vi körde då. Ner i störtloppsställning i Andermatts chinese downhill med ett leende på mina läppar. Erik, tack för alla skratt, underbar tid i Andermatt, turen norrut i en fullpackad bil mot Röldal och skojiga dagar väl där. Blev så glad att höra när du tog segern i Tamok och jag är så ledsen att vi inte hann prata innan påsk då min tel pajade när du ringde och jag aldrig ringde upp. Fan man måste ta hand om de man tycker om och du är en underbar människa. Vi saknar dig!

Easter
Before entering Riksgränsen on Friday I met Wille Lindberg for skiing and good times in Åre. Saturday gave us superb weather and nice skiing all over the mountain. Thanks Pärra, Anna and Karin.
Sunday was touring day with my uncle and three of his friends. Late start when the lift in Narvik didn’t open until 11 am. On the top we put the skins on and headed towards the Partians route. The snow was very heavy so we changed our plans and ended the tour with a nice run down from Rombakkstötta. Thanks Crilla, Stålis, Mats-Ola och Anders for a fun tour.

Andermatt summary
Tragedy struck us the 18th of March when my good friend Clas Ahlstrand was badly injured in a skiing accident in Andermatt. More the four weeks has passed since Clas was injured and we just cross our fingers that he will come out of this good.
Snow wise Andermatt this winter wasn't epic. No big storms and not much snow. But we got nice skiing anyway and Hjalmar enjoyed life in the mountains, riding pisten bully, tractors, ATVs, etc.
Last 2 weeks we stayed with wonderful Tim and Carolina who help us out a lot! Thank you guys!
Now I'm in Trondheim reloading the car before passing by Åre for one day of skiing with Wille Lindberg before I pick the family up in Sundsvall on the way up to Riksgränsen.

Great sushi dinner at Tim and Carro's (and also our place) before everybody went home

First days in Andermatt
The first days was very intense, long and wonderful. We lived 3 km away from the ski resort so we used train, bike or our feet to get to the hill. But we enjoyed it and it’s no problem to sleep after the fine days with skiing and watching the kids.
The sun was shining the first time (and had been the week before) so we needed new snow, even if you still could find good skiing. The proof of good weather and skiing follows!
