  • 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…

  • It was finally a sunny day, and what happens? I’m sick. Three of my colleagues were in different stages of having a cold this week and it was apparently impossible to dodge the bullet so now I’m just hoping that I don’t get any worse than I am right now. Last night was bad enough.…

  • The snow cover isn’t very thick yet, but it varies from place to place even within a small area – altitude plays a big role. When you drive north from Loos, you get to over 500m above sea level and in winter it shows quite clearly. Already now there’s more snow and we also found…

  • I thought yesterday was a great day. Today was better! During my walk, it suddenly started snowing. A lot. I loved every second of it! And the walk which wasn’t supposed to be as long as the one yesterday just kind of got extended so I hiked 12 km through the snow and I was…

  • We got some snow this week and the landscape looks just amazing. I can’t help it, I love snow! There’s not too much of the good thing yet so it’s still possible to walk around without problems, just ankle deep mostly. I made good use of it today, took the new road down to Öster-Hocklan…
