In this Corona time, I have put my self on the ground. No-fly at the moment. So was looking into my archive for something unseen. And found one of nicest day in my home mountains. Just two people in the mountain that morning, and weak wind and perfect flying conditions. An memorable day!
Had the pleasure to start the ski season last weekend. Found snow in Storulvan mountains on the Swedish side. Skied all the way up to the summit of Geitryggen. However, very little snow and hard to find landing spots. Lucky with the wind direction from North West 7-8 m/s. Only direction on the mountain for…
Have had many mountain trips this Autumn. Always hoping for a flight as well. However it has been few of them, because of strong wind in the mountains in September and October. Then it is extra nice when everything is perfect. Walk on the first snow in Trollheimen. Some wildlife. Beautiful view. Just a perfect…
Late May I had a good visit in Northern Norway, and more specific Troms county on several jobs. Had some time off for two or three days and decided to go for Tamok Valley again, for skiing and flying. It was really Springtime down in the valley, and kind of soon end of winter on…
It has been a long time since I have been to the Tamokdalen / Tamokvalley. And finally I had the chance to go there again. The weather was promising and spoke to the “King og Tamokdalen”, Aadne Olsrud. He was optimistic, as always, and said I should come. So I did. Had a very nice…
All winter I have had a big wish about going to Andøya again. It is something special with the nature up there. Brutal, spectacular, beautiful, wondering and friendly. Especially the people, concerning friendliness. But the nature is just breathtaking and you can have five winters and five “summers” in one day. And everything is very local.…
Finally got the opportunity to visit Peak Spanstind in Troms. Its about 1400 m and you have a nice skiing up in two and half hour. The weather was just perfect with blue sky, good skiing conditions and not much wind. Lots of other people were on the mountain this weekend too. So, a perfect…
The plan was good, and the weather forecast was with me. To try a flight from a very special peak for me. Neådalssnota in Trollheimen. Hoping to fly all the way from the summit to Kaarvatn. It was a nine kilometers flight, on South Easterly wind, my novice head told me that could be good.…
It was time to visit Senja island again. Years since I have been there, and so many places was unexplored, and still is, for me. The aim and wish was to be moving on both sea, on land and in the air too. Loaded up with two Ally canoes, ski´s, speed raider, camp gear, camera´s,…
Last weekend in May it was time for the third Svalbard Mountain Ski Festival. About 100 happy and eager skiers arrived Longyearbyen for a long weekend out in the field. Trygghamna (Safehaven) was chosen as Base Camp, where you have several guided options for summiting and good downhill skiing. Just to mention, the Protektor-mountain, Daudemanen,…
