Epilogue

    OK, that's it, the trip is over! We all had a great time, and it appears our web audience had fun reading our diaries as well. Here are some final words from all involved, but first we have to crown the El Vurpo of the year!  Who wins the great title? Well, this year we don't have a crystal clear winner like last year (that was Henrik, for falling before a jump, jumping anyway while still rolling, landing on one ski, shouting in glee while skiing faster and faster on that one ski, trying to stop in panic as he approaches the next big jump on only one ski, and finally collapsing into a big snowy mess).  But after careful consideration and statistical analysis, the choice is quite clear.

    The El Vurpo of 1998 is:  Mattias!  Not for any one particular fall, but because he on two different days fell spectacularly on the same slope, and thereby gained the El Vurpo (of the day) title twice.  Although Anders was very close to earning the title for vurping beautifully right in the airpart departure hall, while playing "nudd" with Henrik and trying to turn around in mid-sprint. Hurray for El Vurpo de la Fjantmas! May he live forever and his bones heal fast!
