I am always rather impressed (not to mention jealous and relieved) when Swedish skiers hurl themselves, like lemmings, off a cliff, only to bounce back up and ski away. Matt and I tried this (off much smaller cliffs) as we continued to explore the ski area of Riksgränsen.
Much of the afternoon was spent riding a relatively short, steep and gnarly section known as Branten. Brant is Swedish for steep, and steep in this case, means up to 55 degrees in places! Late in the day, Matt hit the wall (literally!) and I slid the full length of the run on my bottom... Twice!! We decided to finish early and find some food...
