Taking on Norway: ALPINE SKIING | With Jendrik Sigwart

Jendrik is challenged to compete against a local alpine skier. He travels to winter wonderland in Kvitfjell, where he learns the proper technique to ski gates before racing for the win. Would you be able to keep up with the boss?
Norway is the alpine skiing destination that fits everyone. From slopes between snow-capped trees in inland valleys to ski resorts above the fjords or below the northern lights - each alpine destination is unique. And even though Norway's best ski resorts are super family-friendly, they also offer challenges for more advanced skiers. There is a saying that Norwegians are born with skis on their feet, and in some cases, it's almost right. Some kids hit the slopes as soon as they're able to walk!
They grow up with children's slopes before they advance to jumps and rails, ski racing or even chasing the perfect powder further up the mountains as they grow older. It's the combination of beginner and action-packed slopes that makes Norwegian alpine destinations a place for everyone, including you.
"Taking on Norway" is a RUclips series where Jendrik steps out of his comfort zone with different challenges, while he travels through Norway and meets Norwegians who are experts at what they do. Through each challenge, you'll also get to know Norway and our culture. Episodes drop every Thursday at 7 pm CET. Subscribe now!

Next year I will be on that ski slope. Or one of the others around norway. I will ski there :D
P.S. Visit Norway, a friend and I are trying to plan a road trip with a rental car around norway later this year (late summer or early autumn). What are some must see cities and/or sights that you recommend we hit up in a 5 to 10 day stay?
