It is time!

Finally! In less than 10h we will be on our way to this paradise, Avoriaz. I took this photo in 2009, that was an amazing winter with lots of snow and lots of good memories. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this now, there is a massive lack of snow in Europe at the minute. But the forecast says snow towards the weekend and beginning of next week. Fingers crossed!
Today I have been freaking out all day trying to fit my belongings for the next 5 months in 2 x 23kg. It may sound like a lot but somehow packing gets harder and harder every season. Anyway, everything is sorted and the train to the airport leaves at 03:45, hopefully everything will go smoothly tomorrow. Can't wait to see the mountains!

Dear people of the world,

This is my attempt to share a bit of my life story.

My name is Victoria Bergqvist, but to most people I'm known as Vickie.
I grew up in the north of Sweden in a very ordinary Swedish small-town.

Like most people who grew up in a small-town, I had to get out.

After discovering snowboarding in 2001 I knew that I had found my one true LOVE.

I went on to study at Vännäs Snowboardgymnasium (Liljaskolan).
During my three years in Vännäs I got to know some of the most amazing people.
I had the most fun possible whilst still 'in school'  haha and everything revolved

around snowboarding.

After I'd finished school I just wanted more snow, bigger mountains and more fun.
I flew off to France with a couple of my best friends for my first winter season abroad.

Since then I have spent a lot of time snowboarding in France and a winter in America
to finally end up living in England with my boyfriend Michael. We are planing on going
out to France again in December and when we do I will tell you all about it!
