Kvasstinden

This week a great bunch of german skiers is visiting and before the snowstorm started we skied the seldom visited Kvasstinden. Great summit, great people and a tour to remember for many reasons..

Ruossavarri = Powder

After three weeks of touring here in the lyngen alps the really good conditions finally arrived. Last week the "Willis bunch" from scotland got some mixed weather with some nice days in between the snow and rain showers. This week, with the swedish "friluftsfrämjandet", have been blessed with some of the best snow I've skied and clear blue skies. Yesterday we did one of my absolute favourite tours out here in Nord-Lenangen. Ruossavarri 816m at the tip of the lyngen peninsula held some great powder slopes with views from another world. Arrived by boat from the east side we made a traverse of the peninsula and skied great powder. Two days ago we skied the ultra classics storgalten 1219m and lille galten 836m in epic powder..

Skiing by boat

Today we organized with local fisher man Reidar to go around the northern tip of the Lyngen peninsula by boat. Sun from clear blue skies, no wind and excited skiers. Our goal was to ski from Gamvik but the conditions made us change our landing spot. A bit north we found a little bay with great access to the shore and Russelv fjellet 816m. The most northern peak in Lyngen gave us fantastic views and really good skiing in spring snow conditions...

Happy bunch on the top of Russelv fjellet.

Back in Lyngen

Came back to Tromso last week after a long drive from Chamonix and didn't get dissapointed. A couple of nice tours with friends to start with and then meeting clients yesterday. Staying in The north part of Lyngen this time and having great weather at the moment. Topping out today on Steinfjellet and had fantastic views. The skiing was a bit crusty due to high temperatures earlier combined with cold and clear nights at the moment. Tomorrow we're going on a little boat ride, looking for interesting birds along the way and more...

Had a great last week of the alp season together with Benne, Henrik, Mattias and Martin from Sweden. We skied at the Grand montets, Aguilles du midi, Aguilles Rouges and Cormayeur this week and managed to a bit of skitouring as well. Thanks guys for a great week.. Now I'm of to Norway and the skitouring season in the Lyngen alps.

Gran Paradiso skitouring

Spent last week skitouring in Gran paradiso national park with Henrik Wehtje and Rickard Von Horn. Gran paradiso has alot of snow this year and very few trax... Excellent huts and amazing weather gave us an extra ordinary week of skitouring. We travelled for six days from the valleys of val savaranche, val de rhemes and val grisenche. Reaching peaks everyday above 3000 metres that gave us unbelievable skiing in fresh powder and almost no people.. the high lights was the benevolo hut and amazing staff, Gran Vaudala 3250m, pointe galicia, the italian food and hospitality and more..

Back in La Grave

Back in La Grave for a couple of days... skid La vout with Daniel and Jörgen yesterday and had ok conditions. Resting today and the wind is howling outside. Looks like it's gonna clear tomorrow and stay cold and clear for a while.
