Ski fans follow the World Cup in the middle of the forest.
Ski fans have taken over Trondheim’s forests for the World Cup. Beer flows, the music roar and the atmosphere is on the roof among the sweaters.
Watch a video of the forest line at the top of the story.
More than 200,000 tickets have been sold to the World Championships, but people who watch free races in the woods are not included. And there are a lot of them.
– Over we walked by students who carried beer in both hands. There is a lot of drinking here. It is part of our culture, Norwegian Emma Grönås tells you.
-When there are World Championships in a city, all locals turn to the age of 16. Drinking is part of that Audun Fegra Kopperud describes.
Do ski fans start to pull beer right away in the morning?
– either, or they have been drinking since the previous day, Lyder Grönås says.
People arrive in forest stands by walking, skiing or by public transport. Getting a car in a parking lot is almost impossible.
The ski track is surrounded by a huge public sea. Pasi Liesimaa
