It’s not easy to be a meteorologist. I normally check several different forecasts and try to figure out who is right, and today I’m finally convinced that when we have high pressure with clear skies, FMI (Finnish) gets it right. Their forecast said it would be almost -20°C, while both Yr (Norwegian) and SMHI (Swedish)…

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 did not want to go skiing. Crazy, but that’s really how I felt in the morning. I had to spend a good while convincing myself that I will like it if I just put the skis on and hit the snow. And I guess I was right about that, because at one point while…

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.…

We did get winter today! It was touch and go with the temperature just around the zero mark.

It’s going to snow tomorrow. A lot. Unless it rains, of course. But I’m hoping for snow, which means that it’s winter for sure and that makes today the last chance to get any hiking done. So I went hiking. As to where I would do the hiking, it was an easy decision. Ånnfjället is…

You know how I love shooting the full moon rising (or setting) over the landscape. I rarely succeed, but I often try! It’s full moon tomorrow but the best chance of shooting it was today – moonrise was just after sunset so I might just be able to catch the moon before the sky got…

With the lack of anything better to do, I had a look back at the pictures from the hiking season. It was really one of the best summers ever, even though it got off to a bad start. First I had to wait for my knee to recover from the injury I sustained during the…
