Last day of carefree playing on the steeps for this time. With a storm coming in tonight with forecasted 30-60cm of snow and 20m/s winds, loding upp slabs on top of some crispy sun crusts with facets between makes for a trigger-happy avalanche situationen the upcoming days. ...

A lot of snow came today, and on a somewhat weak old snowpack.

During the trip today we discussed about what makes strong experiences in nature, and my thought was that we need a reasonable challenge, which can be in one of three categories: terrain, conditions and groupe.

Ski to the sea, in Lyngen there is some places where we can make the last turn on the shoreline, and today the best snow was the last 50 vertical meters both on the west and the east.
