Yesterday morning wasn’t very promising but the forecast said that the clouds would clear in the afternoon, so I tried to time my skiing so that I would at my favourite Gråstöten viewpoint just before sunset. It might have worked otherwise, but the sun disappeared behind clouds before it set. I was really racing against…

Without the car, I needed a plan B. There’s a shuttle bus service between Fjällnäs and Ramundberget so all I needed was a lift to Funäsdalen to catch the bus, the idea was to go to Bruksvallarna and then ski home. My landlord was kind and drove me to Funäs, so there I was at…

My car doesn’t like these cold temperatures. I’ve never had a problem before, but then again I’ve lived in places where it rarely got colder than -20°C. Now the car has been standing outside in -30°C and the dashboard is lit like a Christmas tree with all kinds of warnings I don’t want to see. I…

I did some scouting yesterday, I walked the winter trail from Ljusnedal to Lillvallarna and beyond, almost up to the tree line. When I came to a sign which said Ljusnedal 7 km (the direction I came from), and Ljusnedal 10 km (if continuing on the ski trail), I decided to turn back. I was so…

Well that was it, the last skiing of the season. Sure I still have tomorrow here at the cabin, but after four days of skiing I’m done. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not exactly super trained and I think I was more tired after today’s 15km trip than I was after Thursday’s 15km trip. But it was good…

Early wakeup call today to catch the setting full moon. When I got to my spot, it was a no-moon, as there was an annoying bank of clouds in the western horizon on an otherwise clear sky. But, not to waste the morning, I skied a couple of km to a nice spot to catch…

I’ll start with the big news – I will move in the summer. I will leave the lowlands behind me and relocate to Ljusnedal, which is a small village close to Funäsdalen. I checked out a flat today, or rather, the second floor of a house. It is all kinds of brilliant… light and roomy, with…

It’s Easter, and there’s only one way to spend it – on the skis, in the mountains. When I arrived, I was happy to see that there’s actually more snow now than there was a few weeks ago on my last visit at the cabin. The dark patches on the mountains are covered and best…

It’s been very warm lately and the snowcover is visibly reduced every day – I can see this in the field where the dark spots are growing bigger and more numerous every day. Skiing is but a distant memory but I felt that it’s way too early to finish the season, so I drove to…

Got a couple of days off and spent a long weekend at the cabin. The weather wasn’t the best possible – it wasn’t cold, but it was overcast and windy. Very windy. And it has been windy all winter, which was very evident when looking at the snow cover. I have never seen this many…
