I’m really happy how all the training is producing results. I’m stronger, have more endurance, better balance and even my coordination has improved. A little. I fell three times today, twice before I even got in my car. In my defense, it’s very icy right now, after two days of raining. It finally froze last night, and…

The wind picked up with a perfect timing for the weekend. First it rained on Friday and then turned to snowfall yesterday. The snowing was good of course to cover the ice that was left behind by the rain, but I didn’t even think about going skiing yesterday, not under those conditions. But today was…

This is now my third weekend skiing, and today was the first time I can say that I fully enjoyed it. I’ve really struggled with the grip, but I finally figured it out last Sunday, it wasn’t because I’m just not able to wax the skis properly. There are two factors that contribute to the…

I was just thinking. I did my last skiing in the spring on May 1. Six months and 4 days later, I’m skiing again. So… if we have a similar spring in 2017, then the skiing season will last half a year. Half a freakin’ year of skiing!

With all the snowing this week, I was really itching to go skiing. The Mittåkläppen trail has been prepared since last weekend, initially only for skate but now there’s enough snow to prepare the classic track as well. I wish I could say that I had a really fun day out skiing, but there are so…

It had been snowing at night and the snowfall continued all day. I looked out the window frequently as the landscape just kept getting better and better. And then suddenly there were horses in it. I knew there are horses in Ljusnedal but normally you never see them so I never thought about it. Until…

We’ve had snow on and off in Ljusnedal (off at the moment), but it looks a lot more white as soon as you get a bit higher up. It would have been nice with some hikes this weekend, but the wind was crazy bad yesterday and I didn’t even think about leaving the protection of…

With half a chance for sunshine, I did yesterday’s trip today. Which was, cycling along Mittåkläppsvägen to Fålåtjärnen and then follow the Nordic Ski trail to Ramundberget, and home. The trees were not frosty when I left, but there was a little bit of new snow on the ground, which made me nervous at first…

I was going to go cycling yesterday, for a long trip. It’s very cold so I wanted to have sunshine to provide at least a little bit of warmth. Both YR and SMHI were saying that it would be sunny, only FMI insisted on clouds all day. And as it turns out… the Finnish meteorologists…

We’ve been having really cold temperatures, cold enough that it’s meteorologically winter now. Personally, I want to wait for snow before I call it winter… Anyway, the lakes are starting to freeze (as you saw in the aurora pics yesterday), even the river is freezing. And the frost doesn’t melt all day in the shaded…
