Arriving USA

Saturday the 20th of December we left Oslo for a 3 week long road trip in the US. The plane left at 6.35 from Gardemoen and we were 4 tired guys that checked in for the early morning flight to Seattle via Amsterdam. 10 hours with flying later, were we picked up Petrus at Amsterdam airport we end up meeting Marcus, Adde and Pierre in Seattle.

Our plan was to pick up our rental car, a big van and head for Kicking horse, Canada. That wasn´t easy, the company we rented through didn´t told us that the US company had went bankrupt. So it turned out to be a 2 days struggle to get a new car. We had to sleep at a motel outside town and to get there wasn´t easy, 20cm of snow and the cab drivers wouldn´t drive anywhere in Seattle. But many phone calls later we got 3 small cars and packed them full and headed for Crystal Mopuntain. To leave the Washington state was not an option, a big storm had hit us. The weather forecast was predicting a lot of snow, which was perfect for eight powder hungry swedes!

Next time we will tell you all about spending Christmas at a mexican restaurant and tree powder skiing at Crystal Mountain.

See ya!
