Many many years ago I heard about a geological formation called Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) in the Vålådalen nature reserve. I’ve wanted to see them ever since, but as always, I just don’t get it done. About four years ago I even drew a route, but I still didn’t get the actual trip done. And when…

Because it’s not summer until I’ve had a waffle at Djupdalsvallen!

Since I got my new mountainbike, I’ve been wanting to do a bike & hike trip. Rödsjövålen was a good candidate for that, there’s a double-track road from Backvallsvägen to Östvallen, where you continue on foot to get to the top of Rödsjövålen. 17 km by bike, 8 km by foot (return trip). No problems, I…

A new track popped up on the map this year. They are now preparing the trail between Fjällnäs and Svalåtjärnen, previously it’s only been a back country trail but now it’s prepared, and of course I just had to ski it. The only question was, how I’m going to arrange it… use the ski bus…

It’s been very warm (as in, above freezing) lately and the snow is disappearing fast, but there’s plenty of it left for some great skiing today.

Every autumn I check the full moon dates for the coming year. When I saw that the March full moon occurs on a Saturday, I made a plan to be somewhere nice for it, and decided on a backcountry skiing trip to the Fältjägaren mountain hut, which is less than 10 km straight south from…

Good skiing today! We’ve got some new snow and the mountains are covered in it. The wind was biting up there but it was worth the detour from the Anåfjället loop. 🙂

I always say ”I learn from my mistakes”. And I do, after I’ve made the same mistake about three times. Because that’s where I am right now. First there was the hike to Skarsfjället last summer which got me feeling dizzy on the days that followed (caused by the lack of drinking and eating during…

Sometimes I can’t decide what I have more of, plans or excuses. I love planning and I don’t even want to think about how many plans I have that I’ve never gone through with. There’s always something that ”comes in the way”. But last night there were no excuses, I was going to ski up to…
