03+Fagerhøi+wintercamp



The second workmeeting was held in Lillehammer, Norway in February at the same dates as Lillehammer hosted the 1994 WinterOlympic games. February in Lillehammer is normally cold,with relativly short days but with a beautiful blue light during the days. The partners brought totally 60 people to Lillehammer and arrived on different days so the hosts had put up a program lasting from Friday the 5th to Sunday 14th the following week. In Lillehammer the partners got to see the skijumps, have lunch in the frozen river Mesna and slide on " rumpeæsere". After having visited Lillehammer and the host school Vargstad vgs the group met up to be transported to Fagerhøi winterschoolcamp for a week of skiing and practising mountain skills. Fagerhøi wintercampschool ( [|www.fagerhoi.no] ) The students and teacher were challanged to go crosscountry skiing,dig snowcaves and try downhill or snowboard in the small hill beside the school. After a first dag of wind and cold weather the group were lucky to get good dry and sunny winterweather. A first day of skiing showed that the group could take on the challanges of cross country skiing. On The skichallenge day different routes were used and one group took off for a 17 km long route turning at Lauvaasen.Lauvaasenand were surprised by the choice of accomadation for lunch - the small sami gamme seen above.
