Are

last sunday early in the morning a bunch of people (about 50) entered the bus headed to are (sweden) it was a very mixed group of people from all over europe! after a two and a half an hour drive we arrived at tjägerfjellet which is just beside are! there we deposed our luggage and headed the slopes for the first time!! it was very nice and i enjoyed it a lot to ride the snowboard. the two days in switzerland were not so fun on the snowboard. therefor it was even better! after getting back to the cottages (which is pretty early because the lifts close at 1500) . the cabin was realy nice and cosy. build like a typicaly norvegian house. in each house there were four appartements, two for seven or eight people and two for five. i stayed in one for seven people. we had about everything one needs like sauna tv microwave kitchen unfortunatly without dishwasher ...some had one....so it was very nice to stay there!!! in the evening was a get to know each other party which was hold at the erasmus people cabin. the next days was mainly snowboarding on the programm!! i had to get used to it like to get warm up but at the end it was fine! in the evening usually a two people cooked for the whole cabin. and after some sauna and relaxing we meet at the erasmus cabin for some social activities! on thursday after a short night i rented some telemarkskis togheter with another swisssportstudent. it was very fun to do it again. in the beginning very unstabil on the feet even the coming up the lift was a endurance training but till the end of the day it was a lot of fun!!! so that was my are experience were today the worldcup starts!! (we saw hermann maier-> definitly a ox)...
