Message from Aleksi on Thursday:   - Dude, this is starting to be a bit desperate, but how about some July powder on Saturday? I can't hold a burst of laughter. Is this guy joking? It was 30ÂșC just last Saturday! I opened the weather forecast and indeed, 30-50cm of new snow above 1000m expected for Thursday night. Jeeeezzz!! PUDDERALAAAARM in July! I have not skied for two months even if there was a shitload of snow in Hordaland.  The reasons:       i) Not a fan of spring shitty slush.        ii) Not a fan of crowds in the mountains.        iii) I hate warm skiing days. I relate skiing with cold days and not with ridiculously warm days when you have to walk around in swimming trunks and sweat like a pig.  I am not motivated at all for skiing but I start reflecting on it. Maybe it is not shitty old spring snow this time. There is probably no one on the mountain on the 4th of July. It is not gonna be warm and it is actually freezing overnight.
