Why Sweden Rocks part V

This town of 120 000 thinks it is not only important, but critical to the general well being of the population that there be a skiable track as early as is humanly possible.

They have been pumping out artificial snow for 3 days and today the 1.5 km, fully lit trail loop opened. It has a 2-3 foot base and is immaculately groomed. Guys have been out there on shift, 24 hours a day getting things ready. Pictures to come tomorrow.

I went for a 2 hour ski on November 3rd. This is earlier than any year I was a "serious" athlete - we normally headed out to Silver Star BC around the middle of November.

As well, the Borat film Cultural learnings of America to make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan opened here this evening in its original version. That may count as part VI.
