Finally it’s here! The Expedition. The weather forecast wasn’t exactly cheerful, but no disaster either. We drove to Ljungdalen in the morning, had a pizza for lunch and then set on the skis. If you follow the summer trail (which you can do in the winter, I mean it’s snow everywhere) from Kläppen, half of…

I was supposed to drive to Lofsdalen today, I had everything prepared and packed. It had been snowing at night and the landscape looked very nice in the morning and I felt half sorry that I was turning my back on this but there just simply wasn’t enough snow to ski on in Föne so…

The main reason I came to cabin this early in the season (the season being the late winter) was to try out backcountry ski boots which I will need for the trip in March. I drove to Bruksvallarna and rented boots and skis and then took on the trail up towards Kariknallen. I didn’t like…

The ski boot curse struck again. I used a Compeed to protect the spot that I thought might be chafing and went skiing and it felt very good. But by the time I got to Forsänget, I felt an all too familiar sting in my left foot. I took off the boot and inspected the…

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…

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…

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…
