The landscape looked really nice in the morning with a generous layer of new snow. At the same time, the temperature was already at zero so the niceness was about to melt, which meant that I needed to hurry so I rushed out with the camera as soon as there was enough light to take…

I did my best to do some skiing today. As you can see from the picture, there’s not so much snow in the forest so it was with the smallest of margins I could ski on the trail without having the skis come in contact with the ground under the snow. At first it felt…

I bought new skis in December when we got a lot of snow. But the big thaw started right after that, to the point that all the snow disappeared so I didn’t get to use the skis at all. We do have snow now, but it’s extremely light and fluffy so you step right through…

I checked Top Sport in Bruksvallarna. They had the right model, but wrong size – so no ski boots for me. I’ll have to try again next winter. But as long as I have snowshoes, I’m fine. I had an ambitious plan for yesterday, I was going to hike up to Kariknallen (even if you…

I think I achieved some kind of personal record of doing nothing. I had decided to do an afternoon hike so I had all morning to do… nothing. The only meaningful (if you can call it that) thing I did was to write the previous blog post. Well, I did say that this was a…

Gotta love these Easter breaks. 5 days off, it’s a mini-vacation! The only place to be during Easter is the mountains, so I drove to the cabin already on Wednesday evening. I’m glad I have the fireplace now… even though my neighbour had turned up the heat, it was still a bit chilly in the…

Welcome to the 21st century – I now have Internet in the cabin! I got myself a modem from Net1 and it turns out that the signal is really good. I have a pay-by-day subscription so I only pay for the days I use the net, perfect for the occasional visits to the cabin. One…

I haven’t done any skiing in many weeks, since I came to the conclusion that there’s no good skiing to be done in Föne. But that’s just the photographer in me speaking, because I’m not tired of skiing in itself. So in order to get back to skis, I drove to Kajevall yesterday. They have…

I have a problem. Ever since I realised that there is no good skiing (=skiing with photo potential) to be done in Föne, I totally lost interest in it. I’m not going on walks either, unless it’s clear skies with a chance of aurora, obviously… So, I’ve become passive and lazy and I’m probably gaining…

There’s one trail in Funäsfjällen that is advertised as the ”sunshine trip”, solskensturen. Called so because in the spring when you ski it from Ramundberget to Tänndalen, you’ll have the sun on your face all the way. It’s a long trip (23 km) and I’ve always wanted to do it but reluctant to do it…
