I’m the queen of planning. And not doing. If I come up with a thing I would like to do, a place I want to see, I can spend hours on finding out the best way of doing it. And then never do it. But now it’s changing – 2017 is the year of experiences for…

You have no idea how much I’ve missed hiking. Every day I see Ånnfjället from my window and I hear it calling me, so it was really almost a relief that I could finally put on my hiking boots and hit the trail. But before I got there, I drove by the crane nest to…

Went for a drive in the evening, in search of birds. I found some, but nothing I could shoot, so I used my telephoto to do a panorama instead. They’ve cut some forest along the gravel road to Tännäs, and the view is spectacular – you can see everything from Stor-Mittåkläppen in the north-west, to…

A new track popped up on the map this year. They are now preparing the trail between Fjällnäs and Svalåtjärnen, previously it’s only been a back country trail but now it’s prepared, and of course I just had to ski it. The only question was, how I’m going to arrange it… use the ski bus…

The landscape is big and I’ve often marvelled at how little you see people up on the mountain when the parking lot at the trail head is full of cars. But then there are exceptions, of course. Like the Easter week, which is no doubt the busiest week up here when absolutely everyone who can,…

It’s been very warm (as in, above freezing) lately and the snow is disappearing fast, but there’s plenty of it left for some great skiing today. I took the bus to Bruksvallarna and then skied to Funäsdalen via Andersborg, this is what we call the ”Solskensturen” (except that normally people finish in Tänndalen but I pushed…

Should’ve checked the weather forecast beyond just looking at the sun symbol. I had a really mean head wind once I got out of the forest and I had to push myself even when going down a hill. But then when I was back in the forest with the wind on my back and skiing…

Every autumn I check the full moon dates for the coming year. When I saw that the March full moon occurs on a Saturday, I made a plan to be somewhere nice for it, and decided on a backcountry skiing trip to the Fältjägaren mountain hut, which is less than 10 km straight south from…

Good skiing today! We’ve got some new snow and the mountains are covered in it. The wind was biting up there but it was worth the detour from the Anåfjället loop. 🙂

I always say ”I learn from my mistakes”. And I do, after I’ve made the same mistake about three times. Because that’s where I am right now. First there was the hike to Skarsfjället last summer which got me feeling dizzy on the days that followed (caused by the lack of drinking and eating during…
