We had family visiting from Norway Feb 10-24. Maja's uncle Paal and her six year old niece Embla came to visit and enjoy the local ski hill. Embla had only been on alpine skis for half a day before coming to Mt. Washington. She has an incredible amount of determination and after only one day on our bunny hill she wanted to take part in Mt.Washingtons Nancy Greene Toy Race. The Toy Race was a fun event for local club members and a warm up for the following weekends Experience the Podium Nancy Greene event which saw visitng clubs from Grouse, Seymour, Cypress and Whislter. Everyone had a great time at the Toy race and the weather and snow were epic. There is a video segment from this event with runs from Embla and Sylvi.
The Experience the Podium race was also a huge success with lots of local kids and visiting clubs. Sylvi competed in the 9 year old female category. She placed first in the dual Glalom on day one and first in the Kombi on day two. Her times were awesome. She not only won her division but on day one her time was the fastest overall, inlcuding the 10 and 11 year old girls and the boys! On day two she had the second fastest time, second only to one of the older boys from her club, Jared Perras by less than a second. Nice skiing Sylvi. There is a video segment from this event as well.
What a fantastic video Tommy!!!, I both cried and cheered watching it (the toy race, the experiencing the podioum is stopped in Norway by Sony, because of rights)!!, and I love the song you've taped with it, what is it called? Thank you all for making Paal and Emblas visit sooo very speciel to them, you are the best!! Kos from Bestemor/mamma/Gerd
