I paid a quick visit to Messlingen yesterday, I had to check the cabin. In case you’re wondering why there hasn’t been any updates about it, it’s because I don’t want to talk about it! Trust me you’ll find out when it’s ready, I’m still hoping that one day it will be… Anyway, I got…

I’m getting tired of the local trails in Loos, so I drove to Hamra today. The snowmobile trails go in three directions from Hamra: west towards Västbacka, south towards Malungshed and north to Västersjö, where the trail branches towards Tandsjöborg and Loos. I was interested in the Västersjö trail, because it crosses over some marshland…

Things are looking up. It has been snowing all day and once for a change the wind is not messing up the landscape, so it is starting to look really nice. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s skiing trip, but it wasn’t half bad today either. If I was drenched in freezing rain last week,…

It was -4 degrees when I left today. As I was putting my skis on, I heard something dropping on my jacket and a closer look revealed that it was rain. In -4 degrees? I was sure it would stop soon and turn to snow instead, but obviously I have no weather forecasting skills because…

If I had used a slightly warmer WB in this picture, it would be exactly like a greyscale – I tested in Lightroom and when I flipped the greyscale option on and off, there was absolutely no change. But I decided to leave it in colour and just a little bit on the cold side,…

Did a long skiing trip today, over 16 km (which qualifies as a long trip for me). I’m calling this the ”three lakes trail” because it crosses over three lakes (Älgsjön, Råtjärnen and Öratjärnen), it’s the same trip I did last week but this time I extended it a little bit to explore the trail…

It has been snowing quite a lot but the wind has also been quite heavy, so the landscape is once again not looking as nice as I would hope for. But that doesn’t stop me from going skiing of course, it just means that it’s harder to find any good pictures. I had a really…

When I go hiking or skiing, I like to do a loop and there’s a couple of loops around here that are only accessible during winter. The other one is too long for snowshoes and I only did it a couple of times on skis and to be honest, I’ve no idea why I did…

It feels like the winter season is officially open when I do my first trip to the Moose Lake. The snow mobile trails are not prepared yet but there’s always some people who venture out as soon as the ice is thick enough to carry a snow mobile over the lakes, so I had some…

A couple of years ago I wrote a lot about skiing, or rather, the problems I had with it. Those pesky ski boots just kept chafing and gave me blisters for every trip I made and I finally decided that I had had enough of the pain and gave up. But the thing is that…
