Skiing in June (On a Budget)

After saying goodbye to our seniors at graduation I headed out to Lillehammer for the summer. I'm staying with some other EISA skiers I've trained with for the past few summers. We choose Lillehammer in part because its only 3 hours away from the famous Sognefjellet summer snow fields. We couldn't quite afford staying in the lodge so we decided to camp nearby and cook on our assortment of camp stoves. While tents did not offer the luxury accommodations of the lodge, it did have its perks:

There was about 6k of skiing that was groomed and salted twice a day. The track was surprisingly firm for 80 degree temperatures:


After skiing all day we would reconvene at the campsite for some much needed calories. Sweet potato burritos turned out surprisingly well:


For dessert we had scenery like this:
