A girls trip after work to Hemmeligskogen i Ramsfjord. We started walking around 6pm and with almost a full moon we didn't need our headlights until we got ready for the trip down.

The terrain was very varied with steeper hangs and quite a lot of old tree stumps. The trail was well trodden and my skins were sliding so I ended up walking my own path. Lots of kick turns on the way up. No wind at all when we came to Storkollen, with a great view over Ramsfjorden towards Durmålstinden and the mountains beside it.

A fun trip down in great, soft snow. Some sections with really steep hangs and some tight forrest. We chose to stay more to the right of the main path walking up on the way down. Forgot to stop my watch before we got back to Tromsø :D Takk for turen Eva, Pauke og Kari!
