Telemark: Stairway from heaven

Sam Sutton on Husevollelva




It´s the time of year that I get back home to find paddlers sat on my doorstep! This week it was the 2 young kiwis Sam Sutton and Josh Neilson, sat in their car waiting at midnight.

I took them in for the night and then sent them on their way to Telemark, which is working like a dream this year due to a record snow pack.

I caught up with them later that weekend to find them in their element. With limited fear and a great deal of talent they had been knocking off some of the biggest runs in the area at pretty chunky levels.

On Sunday we headed over to Husevollevla, (aka Project 2000), which Sam showed us his skills on, and aptly named "the stairway from heaven". Possibly the steepest creeks in Norway, it offers continues waterfalls one after another.
