Yes kutenay, they still brew and drink Frydenlund beer in Oslo. It is a bit of distance to where I live, so they do not sell it in shops where I live (north Norway)

True we ski more in the aeras above tree level, and my trip was in these areas. Here it is mostly low birch bush that may be of a problem for skiing.

May be I would leave my skis at home if I came to your area, or maybe you would prefer skis if skis were something you had been using for more than 50 years. It could be a matter of tradition. We are used to master it from the age of tree, you are perhaps not.

We use skis not only in defined paths, and btw here in my area there is only paths near the biggest towns. A ski track needs no more than the space of a normal walk-path. Would be interesting to see what "buckbrush" is.

If you come and visit my area, I would be happy to show you around. In addition to fjords and mountains we have the most unbelievable fishing conditons for those who fancy that. http://home.c2i.net/rune.dahl/saltstraumen2.html This place is only 30 miute driving from my home, and fishing in sea is free for anyone.

Norway have very liberal rules for camping. It is allowed to put up a tent anywhere except on farmed fields and near houses and populated places. (100 meters)

But I admit, snowshoes are used by some also here. But I have seen only one person on it, and he was german!
