Hut in the hills

I was away skiing by myself the other week.  I was lucky with the weather for two days, and covered a fair amount of snowy terrain, some of which was pisted... some not. It was an adventure on skinny XC skis with no steel edges on icey pistes and windslab - some spectacular faceplanting with a back pack on! ;)

Ski and sun

Well, I was away for a few days recently (well, almost a month back now but slow to blog about it!). This is what seems to be the National Sport around Easter time. Spring skiing. I was on snowshoes (!) due to injury, lack of skis, and ... mostly lack of technique...  But it was a glorious, hot day and we all had a good time out the back of Tromsø, nearby the Lyngen Alps region.  After this day in the scorching sun a few of us skiied on into a hut for the night.  We awoke to grey skies and snow.  You got to take these days as they come.
