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. I took the bus to Bruksvallarna and then skied to Funäsdalen via Andersborg, this is what we call the ”Solskensturen” (except that normally people finish in Tänndalen but I pushed…

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…

It’s been cold since I came back from the Faroe Islands, but it was warm while I was gone and it hasn’t been snowing since then. The snow cover is seriously reduced but there’s enough of it left, it just doesn’t look very nice. The skiing is ok, the tracks are in fairly good condition,…

The weather forecast keeps promising a chance of sun, but it is just not happening. It was raining when we left in the morning, and the wind is definitely an issue again. We arrived at our spot above Funningur but with nothing but grey skies around us, it was a waiting game. We decided to…

My favourite track has been prepared for weeks and I didn’t know it! I should’ve just scouted it myself instead of looking at the track status on the web, I don’t know why they don’t mark it as prepared but nevermind now, I know it’s done and it’s all good! So up to Ånnfjället I…

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…

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…
