After a week of spring, winter is fighting back. Snowfall started in the morning and hasn’t let up since. Add some wind and a it’s a recipe for a great day! That’s what I thought anyway… for some reason I didn’t see any other people when I was out skiing. Just horses looking at me…
I have been planning to do skiing trips to the mountains all winter, but it just hasn’t come off until now. The weather forecast wasn’t the best possible, but I wasn’t going to let even that depress me. I can deal with overcast skies but not with warm temperatures, so it was now or never!…
Some may call it a dull grey day, I call it Winter. A few degrees below, overcast, snow in the air and fresh snow on the ground. On with the skis, and out in the forest. I skiied about 17 km, which is probably the longest I’ve ever done (yeah fine it’s not much, but…
I’m always looking for interesting snow formations to shoot. When the land is covered with snow, you’d expect it to be an easy task. Well it isn’t. Especially on a weekend like this, when the wind is blowing and the temperature rises dangerously close to zero. The pristine snowcover is ruined by snow falling down…
Now we’re talking! Snow, snow, snow, snow… and more snow! We haven’t seen this much since early November. I’ll take it. When I had made my way to Hembygdsgården, it looked like the weather would clear up and some blue sky started to appear between the clouds. But it was just a brief scare, because…
Would you believe it, snow? It’s white everywhere and snowing, so I rushed out soon after sunrise because if there’s one thing I’ve learned this ”winter”, it’s to enjoy the snow while it’s here. By tomorrow, it might be gone. Normally I am happy to be out in snowfall, but now I was sad to…
I think we can declare the skiing season open now! Yesterday I discovered that the track has already been prepared, so I had been looking forward to skiing all day today. When I got there, I found some places though where the wind had blown the snow off, but mostly it was just fine. It…
It was snowing this morning. I got up, looked out the window and the world was white, the stuff kept falling heavy. I rushed out without eating breakfast, worried that the snow cover would get too thick to manage with summer tyres if I waited. I was anticipating the snowfall to turn to rain before…
So I got my sunny day… mostly sunny, anyway. Time for the last skiing trip of the season, and it didn’t turn out to be quite what I had expected.I made sure to get to Lofsdalen before 10am to catch the first snow buggy up the mountain (it saves some time and energy – instead…
After the snowfall finished and the temperatures crept up above freezing, I took out the skis and once again wondered if this would finally be the last skiing trip of the season (here in Los, anyway). The snowmobilers seem to be late starters so I had to work harder than I had anticipated and waded…
