→Origin
The reason for these historic larps to be held in wintertime was to be able to provide another form of larps that was suited to do in the off-season period of the winter holidays. In contrast to their predecessors, the fantasybased [[summerlarps]] cabins needed to be rented in order to be able to handle the cold weather. The summerlarps use of tents or pineshelters was inadequate due to the temperature and the snow. Cabins where rented through active larpers that had connection with the organisations of the Norwegian Scoutmovement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouting).
Changing the physical environment from tents and grass, to snow and cabins affected the content of these games.
Traditionally norwegian families go into the mountains and visit old familyown familyowned cabins or farms during the easter Easter holidays. The cabins often have poor sanitation fascilities, no electricity and is heated with firewood.<Br>These are holidays where the family spends a lot of time outdoor during daytime, and gather around a long table to share common meals evening time. Singing and playing cardgames is often also a part of this holiday. The winterlarps can be viewed as the larpers of Oslos mimicking these traditions into their larptradition.
