It would have been a nice ski tour for 'Versus'-the host Sofie Østergaard and her family, ended up in a children's and a logistical nightmare, when her five-year-old son, William, broke his tibia on a piste at the Swedish ski resort of Åre.
It happened on Friday on the second day of skiing. We had actually decided that we would stop skiing for the day, while everyone thought it was funny, tells Sofie Østergaard, who also is the mother of Geo in two years.
Suddenly, my girlfriend, Sebastian, running down the mountain with our son in my arms and cried, that he had broken his leg. Sebastian was not at all in doubt, for he had heard the sound as the bone broke, she says.

the Break did insanely hurt at Villy, and doctors at the local hospital could also be stated that skinnebennet was broken completely over.
- He got plaster in the whole leg. All the way up from the thigh and down, tells Sofie Østergaard.
the Breach put an abrupt end to the use of all, but with such a gipsben is not just the right to come home, they found out.
He had to be in such a strechter, so we could not fly home. The night train was also excluded, so the solution was that we had to take a taxi from the Oar to Oslo and then Oslo-boat to Copenhagen, she says.
the Trip from the ski resort to the Norwegian capital took the entire nine hours.
- It was quite a trip - also with a two year in the car. Villy had really hurt. He screamed of pain. We did everything to calm him down, but I had to sometimes look away and cry, so he does so, says Sofie Østergaard and says that the violent experience is only now about to settle.
We were in such a form of martial law. Totally in shock. But he has it better now. We just managed to check out at Hvidovre, before they closed down and everything is just about a corona, " says the tv host, who came home to Copenhagen on Tuesday.

Her son will spend the coming weeks with leg in plaster in a wheelchair.
- It seems that he, thankfully, is pretty cool. He was rather vexed that he could not come to kindergarten, but now, he knows that his friends are also not there because of coronaen.
Sofie Østergaard is deeply grateful for the help the family has received along the way from Åre to Copenhagen.
- All have really been too cool to help. It means everything in such a situation, she says.
