Webinar: Winter wonderland
Skiing has a long tradition in Norway. Originally, the only means of transportation in winter time, but these days, we travel to the mountains to ski for recreation or training in the beautiful nature.
There are many different sports to engage in during winter, this evening will focus on cross-country, alpine, Randonnée skiing and not at least, in general enjoying the outdoor possibilities.
We invite you to join us for an evening about how to get started:
- Where to go? Popular skiing areas, transportation and planning
- Outfit and equipment
- Safety and preparations

I am a 27 year old girl from Norway, with a twist of Pakistan. Learned skiing in my tweenies, bought my first pair of skies, and went straight to Northern Norway for my first expedition. After the following years I have done 7 harsh winter expeditions within temperature from -40, till the temperature of a freezer. Somehow, still loving it!
Long story short: I want to inspire minorities and lecture people with interest in sports. To experience the amount of joy, and mastery that you can get from nature. Today I’m a freelancer on my spare time: lecturing about outdoor life for companies. I’m a mountain guide, and course leader for tour guides in The Norwegian Trekking Association. However, this year I just started my career as a hobby chef where I make Pakistani food on my hikes.
On daytime I work in Rosenberg Worley as a HSE Training Responsible on Jotun A FPSO project.
With my webinar I want to guide you to a safe and fun winter journey in Norway.
But then you have to dare to try something you have never done.
Believe in something you before could never do, and invest in a better you.
Because: If I can, you can too.”
