After having climbed Galhopiggen, the highest mountain in Norway with my brother and son I headed up a few hundred to get my August turns at a summer ski area at the base of the climb.  Went old 'skool' on some borrowed gear, man how did we ever make turns on 55-55-55???
- that sounds and looks like Folgefonna. Unless there is another summer skicentre in the North ? I put in a report last year at this time. That snow looks killer ! It looks like the same kickers on the hill. I forgot the water at the base of the T. I miss the T-bar at Mammoth. I learned how to ski pow off that lift !
