The footage is from an area called Romsdal. I live in the same area, but about 70kms from the jumping spots. The spots you see in the movie are the Troll Wall area, the Eresfjord area, the Innfjord area and perhaps some other places as well.
Those guys are nuts, and not in a good way. Usually one or several go splat every year. Then the alpine rescue teams try to get them down with helicopters and police support. Big newslines and lots of bruhaha. As you can imagine, you get good at gust handling when sailing between mountains like that
C'mon Rolf we need a temperature from you to beat all the yanks!
Sorry to dissapoint you. It was just -2degC here today or 28degF. Thanks to the gulfstream, I could sail year round if my boat was finished. What stops me is the lack of daylight. Dark when going to work, dark when returning. Thank [insert deity of choice] it is spring soon so we can get more daylight.
Just to make you feel better it was 6 degrees this morning when my wife woke me up and told me I had to get up and put gas in her car before she leaves for work....
But it's a dry cold....

Oh it hasn't hurt me. All those "offshore" workers need plenty of "management". I say "management" because its more like "fix all of their mistakes before we send this work to the client." So yeah basically we tried to offshore, found out that we spent more $ in rework getting it right than having us do it correctly the first time.
Two weeks ago it was -33*F on my way to work. I almost turned around and went home. I'm a little shocked my pickup didn't gel up. January was spent mostly below zero, we had one day,(and that was the last day), in January that actually got above freezing. It got to almost 40*F and I was content being outside with no coat. I'm with Tad, but way stoopider for living this far north.
