This is gold, love his arguments

Yeah I thought you might enjoy that.   I think he pretty much sums up my view completely as well.

Great ^^

I haven't done slalåm in a long time. I mostly do cross-country these days.

I think I stopped because I tried to start Snowboarding for quite a while but I only did it for like a week a year so never really got the hang of it.

Ville sannsynligvis vært mye mer moro med slålomski.

I've gone slalom twice but i'de say i am pretty good

That's great!  

My parents used to drag me and my brothers out just about every free day when I was younger for one type of skiing or the other.

It's a shame one doesn't manage to do as much of it when one gets older.

Yeah true... Although,.. I live right next to a pretty good ski- track, both for slalom and cross-country, no ski-lift though.

Yeah, I live right by Marka in Oslo. But that also means one should get out more often, I guess. 

(Hehe, det er jo litt værre. Er ikke noe særlig å vase opp bakker i slalåmstøvler.)

I just asked my dad where marka where... it's the fores AROUND oslo for all who wonder why thats embarrasing.

Hehe, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think it's that normal to know about it if you're not from Oslo.

It is one of the better things about living in Oslo though to have this green lung around the city.

Også, når jeg tenker på det så er det vel flere byer som har noe de kaller marka. Som for eksempel Bymarka i Trondheim. Så jeg burde vel egentlig sagt Oslomarka.

Well, i was born in oslo and have some cousins there so i am not totally of on geografy around there.

And i didn't know there was a trondheimsmarka too, although i've probably been there too when thinking about

You were born in Oslo?  

I had no idea. That's great! Still your one up on me. I was born in Lørenskog. Just wasn't any room in Oslo when I was born.

You kept that quiet Norc.

Haha, well all my relatives are from here generations back, we lived in oslo because my parents worked there, as i said that's where stuff happens but i've lived up north since u was two so

but i've lived up north since u was two- Norc

You have lived up north for 40 years?!!  

The i and u are fairlu close, sir. I am on an ipad, i don't master it fully yet!

 

Well I'm certainly not questioning your northerness!

Just a funny coincidence thats all.

Well they do say the reason the grass is so much greener in the rest of Norway than in Oslo is that you're all down here walking on ours.  

Oi! What!! No!!!!

Sorry, just a joke.  

Whose got the popcorn?  

You should see Trøndelag in midsummer, greenest grass I know of I've been a few trips to Oslo and gone camping in Østmarka, it's a very nice place and a great way to get out of the city for a day or two if you feel like it

I believe u althoughh, it can be pretty magical here too

Yeah, it's great. Particulary for such a big city. I live closer to Nordmarka, so mostly out and about there.

I lived in Trondheim for 1.5 years, but I think I've only been to Bymarka once. Probably should have gone more often.
