I had very lofty ideas about skiing to Svartmorgraven today but I got seriously distracted on the way. I mentioned the reindeer yesterday and today I get coming across them at every turn. So I ended up zigzagging the tundra in search for the best angles to show the reindeer in this tough environment. Of…

In March, it seemed like spring is coming ahead of time. Things pretty much grinded to a halt in the past week with cold temperatures and even a little bit of new snow, which gave me hope that there would still be some skiing to be done in the mountains. I was going to go…

At school, we used to have a week’s holiday every winter. Translated from Finnish, a ”skiing holiday”. I stopped using it for skiing somewhere around my teens, but now it was finally time to resurrect that noble tradition. So I have a week’s holiday and will spend it at the cabin and go skiing every…

I had originally planned to ski another stretch of the snow mobile trail from Hamra, but after almost getting stuck in the snow when parking my car yesterday, I didn’t feel like trying my luck. So I took the same old trail in Loos, the one which goes over three lakes, up to Ryggskog and…

I wanted to find some new places, so I drove to Västersjön in Hamra today and took the snow mobile trail from there. I did part of this trail last year but now my plan was to ski to the Voxnan river, which wasn’t possible last time because the trail wasn’t used. I was hoping…

It was another great day with overcast weather. The difference to yesterday is that there was no fog, but it was snowing a little bit from a thin cloud cover. That cloud cover provided a very special light that made the snow radiate in pure white in contrast with the different hues in the sky.…

Couldn’t ask for anything better than this. In the dead of winter, these overcast and slightly foggy days with snow on the trees and cold temperatures are my favourites. In the spring winter when the days are getting warmer, those sunny days with snow on trees are preferred… but it’s only January now and I…

On Friday when I was skiing, I noticed that some others had been skiing the same trails. I was very surprised, because normally nobody skis these trails except me so I thought maybe some new people have moved into the village (as unlikely as it sounds). Then today when I was skiing, I met no…

With the late winter and some bad weather in between, I haven’t done any skiing this winter. Until today! I was so excited about going out that I was on the move before sunrise and it really was great to be back on track. I was happy to see that I wasn’t completely out of…

My winter photography depends on the weather much more than other seasons. While it doesn’t matter if it’s sunshine or snowfall, the wind plays a big role and it’s not just for the current day. What I mean is that the forest is ugly after the wind strips the snow from the trees and until…
