Hemma hos Edith

Woke up bright and early and I had the privilege to help my friends out in their bakery before skiing.

The cafe is located just across the street from the ski lift. Super convenient, we could just walk over when we were ready to ski after breakfast.

The giant village of Funäsdalen!

Asher is getting ready for some epic turns, pretending he’s not cold at all.

It’s cold as hell and we’re slightly jet lagged so we headed back to the cafe for late lunch.

I used to be pretty damn good at baking, but it’s been a while. Veronica must have thought I did a good job in the morning thought cause I was allowed back in the afternoon.

We made it

We didn’t fly together cause that’s overrated, but all the flights and luggage and tourists made it all the way from Los Angeles to Stockholm.

We got a rental car and started our drive up north. Stopped for late dinner just outside Gävle, probably one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, so delicious!

We had quite a long drive ahead of us so we went to the grocery store to stock up on snacks, how can you go wrong with a store named City Gross?

Introduced Asher to the world of Swedish chocolates.

A few hours later after driving in pitch black on shitty icy roads while listening to Swedish radio and solving world problems, we came across these fellas.

I am quite an excellent co-driver and I’ve been around reindeers on shitty icy roads before so I saw them way ahead. I missed to communicate that to the driver though so we almost bumped into them. Reindeers are also kind of stupid and they won’t move even if a car get’s right up behind them. We got some nice photos and it felt like whatever happen the rest of the weeks in Sweden, it wouldn’t matter, we got to see reindeers!

Made it up to Funäsdalen shortly after 2am.

Off to Sweden

Los Angeles is way to warm, we’re taking Slashberg to Sweden for a while.

It’s my birthday!

Well almost at least! Celebrating with karaoke and crayfish!

Mammoth

It’s pretty awesome to wake up to snow covered cars!

In a way better mood today and super excited to ski!

Had to stop skiing eventually and drive home. The drive was pretty brutal with a snow storm all the way down in the Mojave Dessert, only 90 minutes away from home!

I have to admit I didn’t get many hours of sleep last night and missed the POWDER DAY alarm and first wake up call. Friends kept calling though and we made it up to Mammoth!

The weather conditions was great for skiing, but I wasn’t quite feeling it.
