Just couldn’t resist it. Thought I’d try skiing as long as the weather allows and today it’s snowing some more, zero temperature. When I bought my skis, I decided to go the easy way and get the type where you don’t need to apply ski wax. This is naturally a compromise and you lose a…

This time of the year, every skiing trip is potentially the last one of the season. I left right after breakfast while the world was still grey with frost after a cold night, had a quiet trip through the snowcovered forests and lake. But as for the skiing season, it is lightly snowing as I…

I finally got my GPS unit, Garmin eTrex Venture to be specific. So now it’s just a matter of skiing and hiking and mapping out my favourite trails! Speaking of skiing, I did a tour today. We only have two prepared tracks here – the short 2.5km illuminated tracks and a longer trail (about 10km)…
