It’s done – I’ve sold my Canon 7D Mark II. The only Canon-anything I have on the shelf now are the 100/2.8 macro and 150-600mm, and I’m going to keep them. The Sony macro is almost the same size as the Canon macro so there’s no point in trading that, and then the tele of course,…

I’m really happy how all the training is producing results. I’m stronger, have more endurance, better balance and even my coordination has improved. A little. I fell three times today, twice before I even got in my car. In my defense, it’s very icy right now, after two days of raining. It finally froze last night, and…

The wind picked up with a perfect timing for the weekend. First it rained on Friday and then turned to snowfall yesterday. The snowing was good of course to cover the ice that was left behind by the rain, but I didn’t even think about going skiing yesterday, not under those conditions. But today was…

This is now my third weekend skiing, and today was the first time I can say that I fully enjoyed it. I’ve really struggled with the grip, but I finally figured it out last Sunday, it wasn’t because I’m just not able to wax the skis properly. There are two factors that contribute to the…

I was just thinking. I did my last skiing in the spring on May 1. Six months and 4 days later, I’m skiing again. So… if we have a similar spring in 2017, then the skiing season will last half a year. Half a freakin’ year of skiing!

With all the snowing this week, I was really itching to go skiing. The Mittåkläppen trail has been prepared since last weekend, initially only for skate but now there’s enough snow to prepare the classic track as well. I wish I could say that I had a really fun day out skiing, but there are so…

That just happened. I was skiing in May, first time I’ve ever done it! And it wasn’t just a small nominal loop, but a proper 20K trip from Bruksvallarna to Djupdalsvallen. Today was the last time of the season that they prepare the tracks and the weather forecast says that the temperatures will now go…

I thought yesterday was great. Well, today was better! This post-season season is new to me and honestly, it’s well worth the long and cold winter! Which, by the way, didn’t feel very long, and wasn’t very cold either. Apart from those few weeks in January when my car broke. But let’s not dwell on that… I…

The season officially ends this weekend. The tourists will go home and finding parking space in front of ICA will be easy again. And the mountains, they will be all ours! We had some more snow yesterday and when the sun came out today, it revealed gloriously white mountains all around. It really is a stunning…

I frikkin’ h a t e skate skiing. I’m trying hard to pretend I don’t, I keep talking about these small improvements, but when it comes down to it, please put me out of my misery and shoot me if you ever see me stand on skate skis again. I got up before sunrise today…
