Korketrekkeren

Sunday was literally the best day I have had in forever. I can’t remember the last time I laughed and smiled so much! A group of my friends and I decided to take a trip up to Korketrekkeren, a giant sledding hill right outside of Oslo. The hill is so big, you have to take a train 15 minutes from bottom to top! Once we arrived, we rented our little baby sleds and helmets (!) and ventured off to find the hill. This was the most thrilling sledding day I have ever had. The turns on this hill were INSANE. You would literally turn a bend and the ground was all of a sudden just sheer ice and the sled would just fly around these bends like crazy. Then there were little bumps and jumps the entire way down, so you just constantly get thrown in the air, snow in your face, freezing cold, and blinded. SO MUCH FUN. We went down the hill a total of three times which took about three and a half hours all totaled. According to the website, the hill is 2.6 km long and takes about 22 minutes to get down, without stopping. This is by far my favorite thing about Oslo so far, and I really hope we have time to go back again soon! I will never look at sledding in Chicago the same way again :p
