The Road Pimp

This is Tore. He is the road toll dude a.k.a the road pimp, and has been working as gateman here at Fonna for the last three years. If you plan to ride the road up to the snow resort, you have to pay him 60 NOK for a day pass.

Tore told us that his record is selling 260 road passes in one day. That was when Kari Traa, a Norwegian female freestyle skier and national celebrity, held an event at the snow resort. On that day, the traffic was so dense that people had to park on the road up to the resort. The occasional Germans accompanied by mobile homes went ballistic over the lack of Autobahn standard. -It was a chaotic day, Tore explained.

At Fonna Summer Camp, we dig Tore and we think it's great that we don't have to hike by foot all the way up to the mountain.
