– Nils, is it too late in the year to go skiing now?
– Is it possible to ask such a stupid question, mocks Nils Hovelsrud (66) when Dagbladet calls.
Just a few days ago he was on a ski trip in Sørkedalen outside Oslo, he says. The “ski hitter” is excited about how far he can ski this year. Last year, Hovelsrud took his last ski trip on May 21.
– It snowed so heavily at the end of the year April last yearwhich allowed him to ski until the end of May.
– I’m standing and lubricating my skis right now. Tomorrow I take the train to Harestua at six in the morning. I tape the skis on the bike and ride up to Bislingen. Finally, I will go up in the place I made so happy tired; Sinerdalen. It’s so beautiful there, it continues.
– Bring swimming socks
Hovelsrud is aware that skiing in winter is a completely different nature experience than in spring.
– You never know what’s around the next bend. Do I have to brace my feet or can I ski? Or it can happen that I ski uphill for two hours, and on the way back the snow is gone and I have to walk instead.
The “Skifluenseren” says that he only goes skiing in good weather in the spring.
– Besides, it’s warmer. I only go when the weather is nice, and I wear shorts. Sometimes I bring swimming socks on the trip. If I can find water without ice, I will take a bath too.
One thing is certain, he says.
– You can’t be afraid of getting your socks wet if you go on a ski trip now, says Hovelsrud and laughs.
