I guess we can declare the waterfall season open as well! Now that most of the snow is gone, the water level in some creeks is already reduced to photogenic levels. Take Livsäterån for example, it closer to having too little water than too much. Even if there’s still thick patches of snow when you get…

Exactly a year ago (plus a day) I moved to Ljusnedal. It was a rainy day and quite cool, and on the mountain it had snowed the previous night, so it was almost all white. What a difference! Today it was t-shirt weather, even when the sun insisted being behind a cloud half the day.…

It has been raining for two days and it shows – the river is higher now than at the snowmelt peak. But today there was a chance of a sunny break so I headed to Ånnfjället. I needed a mountain which I could access without having to do a long trek through the forest, which…

May appears to be a month when everything is possible – I’ve been skiing, walking and cycling so far, and now I can add snowshoeing and hiking to the list. That’s really all the outdoors activities I ever do (after I point blank refused to run any more, because I hate it and can’t get…

The water level keeps rising in the river, but it’s not flooding. It’s barely higher than last summer’s peak after an intensive period of raining, but as you can see, there’s still plenty of snow on the mountains. And the warm weather continues! Yesterday I drove to Fjällnäs (for no reason really, just to waste…

I frikkin’ h a t e skate skiing. I’m trying hard to pretend I don’t, I keep talking about these small improvements, but when it comes down to it, please put me out of my misery and shoot me if you ever see me stand on skate skis again. I got up before sunrise today…

Fabulous weekend! It is sunny today and it will be sunny tomorrow and in between there’s a cold night which creates a crust on the snow. I’ve never really tried crust skiing before so I wasn’t quite sure where to go, so I chose a compromise. I drove to Fjällnäs, where I could ski on the prepared…

This is the kind of day we should have had during the Easter (no, I still can’t let that go). Warm sunshine and blue sky, just inviting me to ski up to the mountain. Going uphill in the afternoon sun left no doubts about the season – it was warm, very warm. I took off…

One of my big goals this winter was to ski the Mittåkläppen Nordic Ski track from Bruksvallarna. I’ve already done the short portion of it from Ramundberget, because even if it’s really steep at first, it’s not very long and can conveniently be combined with the Djupdalsvallen loop. But today I did it from Bruksvallarna, including…

I need a plan. If I don’t have a plan for the next day when I go to bed, I will wake up without a plan and the day is pretty much ruined already. Last night, I didn’t make a plan. This morning, I woke up without a plan. So I spent the whole morning on…
