A little after work skiing on Flåten today in the mild and sunny weather we’ve been having. Had a look at Livsäterån and found some snow patterns which haven’t melted away yet.

So now that’s done – I’ve skied to the top of Ånnfjället! I’ve wanted to summit the mountain with home as the starting point almost since I moved here. And since the mountain has quite friendly slopes on the south side, it is perfect for cross-country skiing. And that makes it much easier to do…

I have done 36 of the ”60 toppar” project so far. #37 will be special – it’s the first one I will do on skis! The nights are still insanely cold. It was -27°C this morning so I was in no hurry at all to leave. The days are very long, so there’s no need…

Kicked off the Easter by checking out the Fjällspåret Nordic Ski trail in Tänndalen. It goes up on the mountain so the views are nice, but alas, the whole thing is spoiled by the lift systems. And because of the lifts, people have easy access to the mountain so there are tracks everywhere, and when…

I had a day off yesterday and went skiing from Bruksvallarna to Fjällnäs in good company. 🙂 It is finally starting to look like it’s supposed to look like in March! Except of course that we have twice as much snow as we normally have in March. The spring will be very interesting to say…

And today I finally did that, I just really wanted to take a good look at Blåstöten which is mostly hidden when you view Anåfjället from…

Winter is still holding us in an iron grip. It was -33°C this morning, which to my recollection is the coldest I’ve experienced in the middle of March. The sun does an excellent job in warming up the air, but the temperature plummets again as the sun goes down. When I go for my after-work walk…

I just went skiing, no photographic ambitions because the sun was starting to fade out behind some thin clouds preceding a snow front that will come in tonight. But when I got up to the corner where the Anåfjället trail branches to the mountain, I discovered that not only had they prepared the trail above…

This is the kind of a day that you wait for all winter long. Just below zero, sunny, no wind, and some fresh new powder glistening on the endless white landscape. Skiing never feels as good as it does on these days!

”You will always come down, but…”, he said as he was reluctantly selling me a one-way ticket on the gondola up to Funäsdalsberget yesterday. He didn’t have a lot of faith in my skills to come down the mountain on cross country skis, even when I told him I would follow the snow mobile trail.…
