I got my new snowshoes yesterday! MSR Evo Tour 22, which is a completely different model compared to my old TSL 217’s. I wanted a different shape of snowshoe because I’ve had some issues with the round form of the TSL’s, but the biggest improvement is with the straps. The rubber straps are so much…

I think I need new snowshoes. My old snowshoes have served me well for 15 years, but they are showing their age. A plastic clip that holds the straps in place behind the foot is broken on both. Some metal parts are rusty. They are too heavy, compared to similar snowshoes that are available today.…

After a very warm March which almost got me thinking that we’d have no snow left for Easter, we now have winter again. I woke up to a white landscape, even the trees were decorated! But even if the thermometer insisted that it was below freezing, the intense April sun only needed half a chance and the snow…

May appears to be a month when everything is possible – I’ve been skiing, walking and cycling so far, and now I can add snowshoeing and hiking to the list. That’s really all the outdoors activities I ever do (after I point blank refused to run any more, because I hate it and can’t get…

The stuff that winter dreams are made of! Mild temperatures and sunshine up on my favourite mountain. I didn’t even miss my skis while snowshoeing on Ånnfjället yesterday! I was a bit worried at first that the sky would be fouled up by contrails and the thin high cloud that was partly covering the sun.…

I checked Top Sport in Bruksvallarna. They had the right model, but wrong size – so no ski boots for me. I’ll have to try again next winter. But as long as I have snowshoes, I’m fine. I had an ambitious plan for yesterday, I was going to hike up to Kariknallen (even if you…

I think I achieved some kind of personal record of doing nothing. I had decided to do an afternoon hike so I had all morning to do… nothing. The only meaningful (if you can call it that) thing I did was to write the previous blog post. Well, I did say that this was a…

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…

Fox. Check. Ravine. Check. Full moon. Check. Clear sky. Check. Big Dipper. Check. Aurora. Check. For the longest time, I looked like it would be overcast today. But miracles do happen and the weather forecast indicated that it would be clear in the evening and sure enough, it was. The full moon was the reason…

Awesome! It’s snowing, so the snow cover will be pretty again. I wanted do a long hike that would take me to some areas where snowshoes are required, while about half of the hike would be on a road where snowshoes would be more of a hinder. I’ve never liked carrying the snowshoes in hand…
