Last turns of the season

So. The sun came out. I went skiing. There was some fresh powder snow. And then it got cloudy again.

Hah hah YES I'm serious. It's true!

These pics are from the last run of the day. Thanks to my roomie for the first shot, I really like it!

Temparature is supposed to jump up to twenty-something tomorrow, so sounds like skiing's pretty much done now. The summer may come, I think I'm ready.

Like in December, but better

The weather is again anything but spring, but yet I made a springly salad for lunch: rocket, fresh coriander, avocado, strawberries and olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Yummy. My body is screaming for fresh stuff! And I must say that this particular avocado and these particular strawberries had an amazing flavor, structure and texture.

Then up the mountain again. Easy-acces powder in the snowfall with friends. Is it really end of April?? Feels like December, except snow's better. And my legs, too, hah hah.

Got the feeling my posts are getting slightly repetitious.. But that's how it has been, just more snow, more skiing, few openings for the sun and then again more snow and more skiing.. It has been actually totally amazing to be off duty now, really making the most out of my mountainous free-time. Soooo blessed. What an end of the season we're having here! Whoa.

I see blue

Yesterday I woke up and saw the color blue from my skylight window. Blue!

''I can see blue, let's go skiing!!''

So we did and indeed there was sunshine and powder snow. And nearly nobody up in the mountain! Little end-of-the-season dessert, the cherry on top. Happy days!

The summer is supposed to hit in before the end of the week. We shall see..

Looking at Zermatt form a distance

A friend had to drive to Zermatt, so I joined in just for the sake of joining. We never actually get all the way up to Zermatt (it's a carless village) but actually just looked at it from a distance. Entertaining, yes. Loads of coffee was consumed and loads of bullshit talked. We came up with a five year -plan: to visit Zermatt. Because it's actually really close by!

Also, it kept rainy-snowy-cloudy all week long apart from Tuesday. Then hopes were up for today and indeed the sun came up! Our pretty little mountain-playground gave us some perfectly lovely spring-time skiing. Happyhappy!

Oh by the way it's raining-snowing-clouding again.. Come on spring, come ooooon!

A braid, not afraid

This is so funny!

***

One of my real-life favorites from this winter is this:
Miss A.: I like your braid!
Me: Oh thanks!
Mr S.: What are you afraid?

He couldn't believe we girls we actually speaking about hair under the heavy snowfall, goggles and jackets covering everything but your nose.

I'm also one of the most color-coded chicks in Town, it has got ridiculous -all my stuff is green and pink! I've given up in the fight against it already, I just like the combination of green and pink in my skiing stuff.. So, live with it! But seems like I'm not the only girl with color-issues: yesterday I went skiing with Miss Purple and Miss Turqoise, today Miss Blue confessed and Miss Pink was nodding at her side in understanding. And nobody has got like this on purpose, of course! It. Just. Happens. Isn't that right, girls?

One of the girls was upset after the loss of her beanie. It was the one that matched her snowboard pants.

April fun

I am filled with happiness from yesterday.

To start with, first time in few weeks the sun decided to show up if you went through the clouds high enough. (And yes, I re-burned my face of course..)

Then just good things were to come. My roomie opened the track to Catwalk and we were then the only two people up there -and the first two people to ride down of course. The snow was super duper fun, clouds kept away while we did our turns and for the first time this season I got the feeling that yes, I can actually telemark! That all made me so so happy. I'm so so happy!

Definately one of the best runs this spring -easy, good, fun. We girls had big smiles for the rest of the day and we filled the mountains with happy giggles.

Thank you the month of April, you are loved once again.

Hämmentävä sää

Hämmentävä sää jatkuu! Tuntuu kuin asuisimme kummituskylässä.  /The weather keeps acting strange! Feels like we're living in a ghost village.

I'm actually on holiday. Feels funky. So what am I supposed to do with all this time?

Honestly, I should do piles and piles of admin. (But I detest admin says a moany little voice inside my head. Detest!) The flip-side of moving around, there's always some extra admin to do when changing countries. Doing ten million things at the same time. Work on your managing skills, scatter-brain!

Keep calm and always breathe.

Almost like winter

It's almost like winter again! Just warmer. And so much more chilled out!

Hello snowflakes

Hello world, hello friends! Hello little wet snowflakes falling on my nose! Smells like springtime pow, how exciting!

Someone is toring apart the big fat layer of grayness above us: I can see a glimpse of light blue hues from my skylight window. I don't mind. I don't mind of the shiny skies, I don't mind of the wet flakes neither -either way is good. But I have truly enjoyed of the calm rainy days. It's like the mountains want to meditate, too. So good for us to slow down.

A dear friend of mine put up a quote I really liked. This is how it goes: ''The only way to get what you really want is to let go of what you don't want.'' Iyanla Vanzant

So simple. So wise.

P.S. Happy choco-egg times chicklings!

Vielä tai enää



Vaikka pesukonetta tuijottaa, se ei pese nopeammin. Huomasin juuri. Tulos on lähes vastakkainen.

Pää ja kroppa eivät kytkeydy tänään, laskeminen oli absurdi kokemus. Sitten sinne tuli joku pilvikin, aurinkoni eteen. Lihasmuisti osasi kuitenkin tuoda minut alas. Alkaa olla aika paljon tahmaista sohjoa, traverseilla meinaa free-heeleri lentää nassulleen.

Kevät tuntuu kuitenkin ihanalta. Ihanalta tuntuu myös ajatus säätiedotusten lupailemasta lumisateesta -jospa sitä valkoista ja pehmeää sittenkin tulisi vielä!

Kautta jäljellä kuukausi, oho! Vielä vai enää, valitse itse.

Beauty and joy

Have a beautiful day!

Yoga more, more yoga.

Bliss. Bless. Embrace.
