Today’s exercise was to be the ski lift for sister’s twins as they tried out skiing for the first time on a small hill (not visiting a ski resort yet, this was a more relaxed setting). They made lot of progress, snowplough, turns, how to fall, etc. Fun day!
We were at the hill for the Tuusula sports center in Hyrylä. Nice place. Coordinates: N 60.38947 E 25.03185.
Also, an interesting thing happened. 27 year old Nordica boots gave away... bottom half of the boots disintegrated as the kids walked few meters to the car. Amazing, I usually like to keep my boots longer than this :-)

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world. See the other Planetskier blog articles about skiing, caving, urban exploration, climbing, cycling, flying, swimming, and saunas.
