The days are getting longer and definitely warmer, when the sun shows up like it did today. The only way to spend these days is on the mountain, so I put on my skis and started towards Ånnfjället. I was going to follow the prepared ski trail up, but when I passed the unmarked snowmobile…

My skis are in the shop being repaired. The good skis, I should add. So I was stuck with the waxless hybrids and I didn’t get very far before I started thinking that maybe I should get those fancy new waxless skis with skin strips for grip. Because these existing waxless skis, they really are…

We got a lot of new snow this week, and now it’s very cold again. Not too cold for a little bit of skiing though, which was all the more pleasant when there was almost no wind. I took off from Högsta Hållan towards Malmbäckstugan, at first I wondered why the trail was completely snowed…

When the sun comes out, the mountains are glowing white and I just cannot get enough of the views. The snow has now fallen off the trees when temperatures went from -32°C on Monday morning to +2°C on Thursday, with hard winds in between, but that of course make no difference for the peaks. My…

Went skiing today. I did Mittåkläppsspåret for the first time this winter, and I picked the right day for it – it was absolutely gorgeous. After a couple of km of skiing up the trail, the trees were covered in frost and/or snow (no snow on the trees down in the valley). With the sun…

It’s super moon today. I had a great plan to shoot it on Funäsdalsberget (again), but the weather disagreed – there wasn’t going to be even a hint of a moon with these clouds. That didn’t stop me from going to Funäsdalsberget though, because the trees are still all frosty and snowy and I love…

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 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…

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…
