As usual I'm planning to spend some time in Lyngen and Tromsö this year and the spring is already getting booked by skiers who whant's to see the fantastic landscape and ski the beautiful mountains up there. April and May will be specially reserved for the Lyngen Alps. If you are interested in the skitouring in Lyngen you can visit www.ascentdescent.com where you will find a rough program and more details. Here are some pictures from last season.
On the drive out to the northern end of The Lyngen peninsula you find this old house... you have Ulstinden in the background wich is a great skitouring peak on the other side of the fjord.

On our way to ski the Westface couloir on Jiekkevarri (1834m), wich is the highest peak in Northern Norway. You find this peak on the southern part of Lyngen.
Taking a well deserved lunch break on Veidalsfjellet wich is a great skitouring peak on the northern part of Lyngen.
Sarah and I are counting the days till we come back to the incredible Lyngen for some more epic touring in April 10. This year's trip was the highlight of the whole year!
