The landscape is big and I’ve often marvelled at how little you see people up on the mountain when the parking lot at the trail head is full of cars. But then there are exceptions, of course. Like the Easter week, which is no doubt the busiest week up here when absolutely everyone who can,…

It’s been very warm (as in, above freezing) lately and the snow is disappearing fast, but there’s plenty of it left for some great skiing today. I took the bus to Bruksvallarna and then skied to Funäsdalen via Andersborg, this is what we call the ”Solskensturen” (except that normally people finish in Tänndalen but I pushed…

Should’ve checked the weather forecast beyond just looking at the sun symbol. I had a really mean head wind once I got out of the forest and I had to push myself even when going down a hill. But then when I was back in the forest with the wind on my back and skiing…

Every autumn I check the full moon dates for the coming year. When I saw that the March full moon occurs on a Saturday, I made a plan to be somewhere nice for it, and decided on a backcountry skiing trip to the Fältjägaren mountain hut, which is less than 10 km straight south from…

It’s been cold since I came back from the Faroe Islands, but it was warm while I was gone and it hasn’t been snowing since then. The snow cover is seriously reduced but there’s enough of it left, it just doesn’t look very nice. The skiing is ok, the tracks are in fairly good condition,…

I have never photographed fireworks. Which is not so surprising, really, considering that the last time I saw fireworks was before I started with photography in the first place. But, 2017 is all about experiencing things (that’s my new year’s resolution, so thus far it’s going great), so I grabbed my gear and walked over…

My favourite track has been prepared for weeks and I didn’t know it! I should’ve just scouted it myself instead of looking at the track status on the web, I don’t know why they don’t mark it as prepared but nevermind now, I know it’s done and it’s all good! So up to Ånnfjället I…
