Tested the Sigma 70-200/2.8 today and was disappointed to see that it’s no better than it was before. It’s weird that the autofocus problem with the camera only affected wideangles because you’d expect that whatever focus problems you have, they would be multiplied with longer focal lengths. But the Sigma is exactly the same as…

We have enough snow for skiing at home, but I wanted a real winter landscape and I was sure I would find it in Harsa, so I drove there in the morning. I was right, the trees were covered in snow and there was at least twice much snow on the ground as in Ljusdal. The…

I had big problems last night with deciding where I would go today. Having stared at the maps all evening, I finally saw an option that I never thought of before so that’s what I decided to do. I drove to Tänndalen and took the snowcat to the Andersborg cabin (and surprise, I did not…

I said yesterday that I wasn’t even feeling thirsty during my trip, but it was apparently just wishful thinking. I got a headache in the evening which only got worse during the night, and it’s the kind of a headache that comes from dehydration and that painkillers don’t cure. So I had a restless night,…

What a contrast it is to the trip in March. Back then it was cold, windy and overcast and now it’s just sunshine from a cloudless sky, hardly any wind to speak of and therefore quite warm, even if the thermometer insisted that it was just a couple of degrees above freezing. By the time…

Easter is a bit late this year, but there’s plenty of snow left in the mountains and the weather forecast is looking good. It didn’t start off too well though, it was overcast and a bit windy so I didn’t have any ambitions to reach the tundra today and settled with following one of the…

My heart sank when I got up. The wind was really bad, even worse than yesterday. I couldn’t breath into the wind and the wind meter at the station indicated median winds of 13-17 m/s. That’s no joke! We really didn’t feel like repeating yesterday’s experience, even if this time it would be a shorter…

We had been looking at the weather forecast with some concerns because it looked like it wouldn’t get nice at all this week. Our original plan was to ski from Gåsen to Sylarna and then back to Helags, but with the atrocious weather, there was no point in going to Sylarna. For one thing, there…

The day dawned considerably better than yesterday ended, so we could continue our expedition. There was still some wind, but no snowfall and the sun was almost breaking out on some occasions. It was only 15 km to the Gåsen mountain cabin so it felt like an easy match after the heavy winds on Saturday…

It was a promising morning, I could see the peak of Helags! We set out as early as we could, because we had a long trip ahead of us – 24 km to the Vålåstugan mountain cabin. The weather wasn’t half bad and by lunchtime we were skiing in sunshine. The weather was quite local…
