This morning I woke up to the sound of the trees swaying around and small branches flying against the window. It was definitely too windy to try to go higher up on the mountains, above the treeline. In the mountain station there is a cool weather station and some information about wind chill factor. For some reason I'm a real nerd when it comes to weather oberservation and I love the automatic calculation of the felt temperature.
(The minimum temperature doesn't show on this picture. It changes between the measured temperature and how long ago this was measured)
Here's some more about the effective/felt temperature
I tried some x-country skiing, but the tracks were ruined by the wind and melting of the last days.
great.
Later on I went backcountry skiing in the forest and tried to take a little video of it. It's not exactly action sports, so consider it a relaxation video ;). My skiing, which is otherwise of course perfect, got a little bit worse by holding my phone in one hand all the time. I had both skiing poles and both gloves in the other hand and basically nothing to push or balance myself. So all mistakes or any whacky style you see is of course only due to that.
So here it is, my first (shaky) video:
And some more pics of the amazing midwinter light!

Everything on the other side of the lake is Norway.
