Lars used to be a ski instructor and one of his biggest wishes was to teach the kids to ski. Three weeks after Liva turned three she skied for the first time, on the opening day in Lake Louise ski resort in Canada. Tiuri had learned to ski two years earlier, for three days in A-Basin, USA, and was flying down the hill, great start.

This trip was a combination of skiing and traveling through Canada and USA, in a camper for four and half months.

Highlights in pictures:

Strathcona Provincial Park, Vancouver Island, Canada

Breckenridge,USA, first week skiing.

Amerald Lake, Joho National Park, Canada

Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, USA

Only a few days with temperatures reaching above 5 ºC, time to barbeque.

Winter Camping at its best: out in nature surrounded by bears and snow.

Liva’s first day skiing, Lake Louise, Canada.

Not always cats and dogs.

We thought we were tough… next to us two Alaskan ladies in a tent 🙂

First week on the beginner slopes but at the end skiing down from North Americas highest ski lift at 3914 meter.

In Teton National Park we saw seven Grizzly’s in one day. Fantastic.

Very lucky to find these hot springs in Yellowstone National Park.

Liva is a tough cookie, looking like a two year old, but just turned three years. So she got a lot of attention.

Yellowstone National Park, almost for ourselves.

Campground at Breckenridge, where we lived for two months.
