Re: May 1 ski trip in Romsdalen, Norway

Yes, you want to be a solid expert skier and experienced in a lot of different snow conditions before you can call something like that fun. I have been doing one kind of skiing or another for the better part of 50 years, and put in a few days of steep skiing in the Tuckerman ravine area many years ago, but I have only taken up (moderately) steep skiing again after coming to Norway a few years ago. . But if you define extreme skiing as "If you fall you die (or get badly hurt)" then I don't do that kind. Despite the steepness, the snow was soft and deep enough that it is quite easy to stop if you fall -- which I did once or twice. I felt much more exposed on the final climb to the summit.

I have added a few of Christophe's pictures to the gallery, and added titles on all the photos.
