During the milonga the snow on the platform was removed.  Now the highest located milonga in the Nordic countries is ready for the 17th of May (our constitution day here in Norway).

Around base camp very rare observations of moscus was made.

 

 Saturday 24th of April a new Nordic altitude record in milonga was set on "the roof of Norway" in the Dovrefjell mountains in the middle of Norway. The milonga took place at the top of the highest mountain in the are, Snøhetta (2286 meters above see level).  On top of the mountain there is a wooden landing platform for helicopters,  perfectly suitable for high altitude milongas. Due to the snow conditions, the record from last year was beaten with 20 centimeters.  A huge ghetto blaster was carried to the top to have enough sound for the rough weather conditions, even though the weather looked very nice when we started our ski trip.

When we finally reached the top the weather had turned to wind and snow, however NTCC didn't give up for that reason.  To the top we wanted, and top milonga we had.

The Nordic champions in high altitude milonga is: Ailin Bønå, Gunnhild Nilsen, Kjersti Birketvedt, Anne Celine Rostock, Stein Erlend Brandser,  Karl Johan Reite, Vegard Heimly Brun and Anders Flaarønning. (The support team in the  base camp was Kirsten Gjerstad Kjelstrup, Sølve  and Ingrid Apalset). Herby we challenge other tango dancers to beat the altitude record. Good luck.
