Harald Sodemann is working on improving the weather models. One thing he and his colleagues think can be improved is how water in the atmosphere is treated, to understand where it is coming from. To do this they need observations, and to get these observations, they ask skiers in the Norwegian mountains to take snow samples. For where better to gather samples of precipitation than the rainy Norwegian mountains. And who better to gather these samples, than skiers that prefer to go where no other people would think about going.
