THE THREAD!!!

Here they're just supposed to learn handling weapons and skis at the same time. They ski ahead in the tracks, and stop every 15 meters or so and fire 3-4 rounds at the targets some 150 meters ahead. Sounds easy, but try doing this in -29, with skis, ski poles etc, while at the same time keeping track of their comrades in the side lanes, thinking about security and so on. If you have never done it, there's an enormous potential for getting things wrong [:)]

Sun setting between the snow-laden trees just before my mobile phone battery gave up in the cold. Again, the pictures don't do the beauty justice.

Oh, and a subarctic UNP [8D]

I'm wondering, what proportion of Scandinavians are proficient skiers? I'm guessing a lot.

[DivePac88]

I'm guessing not many Danes on a per capita basis. I'd think that there are more Swedes and Norwegians that are good skiers.

A quintessentially Minnesota day this morning. Breakfast of eggs, coffee and biscuits. Then a trip to the Mall of America to see the ice castles. Hit the public park on the way home with the sledding gear and kids enjoyed sledding down the slopes. Hot cocoa and tea at home after.

Tomorrow expected 4-8" of new white stuff.

Any THREADster from back East that can comment re: the Nor'easter? How'd you fare?

Whoops-gotta run. Turn in the box. [:)]

Also, hope Shanilec didn't hurt himself after the Gophers men beat the snot out of UND a couple weeks ago. Gopher women freakin' rule in college hockey this year. [&o]

Hi all,

ORIGINAL: Grollub

On work this weekend. Flew up to the northern parts (close to my original home) to check out and evaluate one of the courses (Basic course in subarctic environments) that the college are giving in cooperation with one of the northern regiments for the Officers Training Cadet School.

Seems I'm in a funk, just as last time I was up here in January. Temp is, once again, -29C ... but again, blindingly beautiful.

Very nice pictures Per - thanks! [:)]

That is a joke? [&:] You guys are weird.
