Been hanging out around this little hill in the no

Been hanging out around this little hill in the north of Sweden for the past week. It's been fun to explore some new terrain. Ahkka and the area around it is highly recommended. There is alot of fun skiing to be had in an quite condensed area (for being in Sweden.).
The ski from this peak to the lake below is actually the ski run in Sweden with the highest vertical drop. 1500 meters and a bit more. How much more depends on the level of the frozen lake. The lake is regulated by a damn, so it can differ a bit. And it's quite scary to know that the strange features on the ice comes from the fact that the water level have been sinking after it froze, so it feels like you are walking on an ice sheet suspended in mid air, not a very pleasant feeling....

Yesterday was good. When you take a person on her

Yesterday was good. When you take a person on her first proper skitour, and she goes "The most awesome day in my life, except maybe having kids", you know the stars have aligned!
Good work @ylva.blank, I am both impressed and a bit proud.
The ever so keen @benjegard was also part of the team, and the two of us went for a second lap for a little mission with me saying "it looks good on the map and I have been taking some photos of that face, I want to try it", Henrik knows that usually means some kind of adventure is up. It was a bit adventurous, but mostly just really good!
Then I jumped in my car to leave the area around #hemavantärnaby to go further north for the rest of the spring.
The roads up in the northern Sweden is for sure a bit deserted....
An extra thank you to @antongrindgards for some local info.

Back in #hemavantärnaby for a short session. Toda

Back in #hemavantärnaby for a short session. Today the weather cleared up so we went on a double mission with nice easy skitouring in the morning and then we went for a classic couloir in the afternoon, and even managed to squeeze in a bonus run on the way home.
Good work @benjegard, as always.
And a huge thank you to the person that made the boot pack, made life easier.

These three guys for sure deserved a good day afte

These three guys for sure deserved a good day after enduring really tricky conditions here in #hemavan. (And with tricky I mean 25m/s wind and rain high up the hill).
Went on a cruzy powder run in the sun followed up with some more adventures skiing down a good old couloir.
Always fun!

Today Styrsö delivered. And to follow up the jesu

Today Styrsö delivered.
And to follow up the jesus comment from yesterday I teamed up with my most "jesus look alike friend" Viktor, @freetracks.
Great success all over.
Feel like I've been doing a good job discovering the islands in the archipelago of Gothenburg lately....

Another ridiculous day in the archipelago of Gothe

Another ridiculous day in the archipelago of Gothenburg.
@andreasjohansson_glass, @elinhofgaard and @lindfredde joined today.
Ferry to Brännö, then the same tactic as last week: "Keep the ocean on your left and keep running until you get back to the ferry". Seems to be the way to go!!
Tried to make an even cooler GPS track than last week, and with all the frozen water we put up some kind of "Jesus track" I guess when running on the ice.
We made sure we only ran where the ice was solid and close to the shore. Fredrik did less of the ice, since the didn't have spikes. More adventurous I guess?
Thanks team, it was for sure one for the books!!
When the Westcoast of Sweden is like this, it's truly world class.

Pretty epic day of chasing the powder snow when ru

Pretty epic day of chasing the powder snow when running around on the islands of the Gothenburg archipelago.
Very happy I have friends that are up for these kind of things. Texted Andreas last night at 22.30 asking if he was keen. Off course he was. Memorable!!

I really want to express how greatfull I am that Sweden have something called "the beach protection law" (or similar....) that pretty much stops the building of houses close to the shoreline. This means that we more or less could run 33 km today next to the ocean, without once being forced to run a different way because a house was built there. How great is that????

@jakob_sjodin did a great job as a snowboard model today.
Although, I think the great light and the nice snow helped......

In 2012 I visited The Lyngen Alps together with my brother and the late Andreas Fransson. We had a lot of amazing skiing and great days out. The trip resulted in 3 episodes made by my brother, Bjarne Salén.(Yes, I have cut my hair....)
