Steinskartinden

Dato:
02.05.2013
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark

Had a short trip after work with Aline and Christian again, this time to Steinskartinden in Kattfjord. We were fortunate again with gorgeous spring-like weather as we drove out of Tromsø at 4pm and were optimistic about getting some good snow since the usual route ascended from the north side of the mountain and would – we hoped, be less påvirket by the sun. After conveniently spotting some obvious sets of ski tracks leading up the mountain from the road, we parked more or less closeby. For the first few hundred metres the snow was firm but not too hard. Unfortunately the condition deteriorated quickly as we gained height and when we were just above the treeline there was not much else apart from icy snow surface. The gradient was not the gentlest either, so it was a struggle to actually >>>

Tafeltinden

Dato:
28.04.2013
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Turlengde:
6:30t
Distanse:
18,0km

I had waited for what had seemed like eternity for this day, but finally it happened that my long-term dream to climb a Lyngen peak was finally accomplished - although not a dream that I had long thought to happen on a pair of skis! Tafeltinden was our objective and I had Aline and Christian with me for company. In contrast to our first trip together ( Juledagstur til Durmålstinden ) on Christmas day during the mørketid, today’s trip could not have been more different! Mucho sun, long hours of daylight and plenty more snow. I picked them up at 8.30 since the first ferry from Breivikeidet to Svensby left at 10.00 on Sundays. I was worried that we wouldn’t make the ferry on time, but as things actually turned out, we ended up being the second car in the queue and waited for 40 minutes at Breivikeidet. Better to have waited >>>

Finnlandsfjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Turlengde:
1:30t

Quick trip up to Finnlandsfjellet med Kamila and her friend Lauri today. The weather wasn't at all terrible and the slush was ok. Better than the week before on Rødtind but still a little bit awkward to steer the skis on. Up and down in less than 1.5 hours. Not the most exciting trip ever, but a nice alternative to meeting friends in a coffee shop on a lazy saturday afternoon!

Rødtinden

Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Distanse:
5,0km

My mum and brother were visiting Tromsø for a few days and I really wanted to get my brother out on a trip to experience the wonderful ski-life up here. Since he had downhill skiing experience (more than me) I was not so bothered about him getting down a mountain. But after a week of warm weather with rain showers, I wasn't convinced that snow conditions were so fun. In the end I decided Rødtind would be a good option to start off with since it is only a short trip and it would at least give us the option of taking another trip afterwards if my brother didn't find it too tiring. After the rain had stopped we started around kl.14 from the road near the Kvaløya ski stadion and began the trip towards the lysløypa and then up through the forest. Turned out I was more or less right about the >>>

Vanntinden

Turtype:

Distanse:
13,0km

Jeg glemmer nå hvorfor jeg foreslo en tur til Vannøya. Husker at jeg merket denne øya først da jeg åpnet mitt nye Ullsfjorden kart. Kanskje det var det første partiet som jeg så. Men uansett, en tur til Vanntinden så fristende ut spesielt siden helning fra sørsiden av fjellet var ganske slak hele veien opp. Det betydde også at total avstanden var lengre enn noen andre turer. Da ble planen for et besøk til Vannøya født. Det skulle blitt bare en dagstur med ferga, men min vennine Ilona hadde en flott ide: sov i telt på Vannøya etter turen og opplev en vakker solnedgang fra stranda. Naturlig ble vi veldig spent veldig fort. Jeg spurte noen andre venner om de hadde lyst til å bli med, og snart var vi ei 4-personer gruppe: jeg, Ilona, Kamila og Kristin. Dessverre måtte Aline til >>>

Rødtinden

Dato:
07.04.2013
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark

Until now, the thought of taking a trip up Rødtinden has never appealed to me. It's 25m short of only 500m high, ca. 2km from the road in Storelva and attracts as many crowds in the same way as a British high street would do. Kjedelig has always been my conclusion. However, after injuring my leg on Sydalsfjellet two weeks earlier and still not having regained complete freedom of movement, I finally decided to give in and reduce my skiing ambitions for a while. Rødtinden was now on my list of trips worth considering. After almost 2 weeks of continual bad weather, high skredfare and numerous skred-related incidents in Tromsø, today dawned bright and sunny and there was a proper påskestemning outdoors. It would have been pretty shameful to have yet another working-at-home-at-the-weekend day. >>>

Skadet på Sydalsfjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Distanse:
7,0km

After having had a short trip on our first day in Lofoten, Aline and I were super-enthusiastic to have a longer ski trip. Sydalsfjellet turned out to be the only ‘full’ topptur option, since the other trips which were being run on the Saturday were either skogskjøring or ski/surf combination. Fortunately both of us managed to get a place on the Sydalsfjellet trip before the sign-up list had filled up. Unfortunately the weather didn’t look all that promising in the beginning of the day when we met up with our guides Marius and Bjørn at 9am at the Henningsvær Bryggehotell. Altogether there were 13 participants on the trip, so it was a relatively large group. Null visibility and light snow was not at all inspirational, but we clambered on board the minibus anyway with a dash of hope that >>>

Stampen

Dato:
22.03.2013
Turtype:
Fjellskitur

My first trip of Camp Lofoten with Aline and Siv. We'd expected to be taking a trip to Sautinden, but as things happened we ended up on Stampen instead. The meet-up with the ret of our group and the guides was at 9.00 by the Henningsvær Bryggehotell and the drive to the starting point for the ascent was a scenic 40-minute drive down the E10. And we couldn't have asked for a better welcome with the blue skies and sunshine we got, even if the forecast did hint that it wouldn't be staying like this for very long! The group was around 9 or 10 including our guide Sverre, and we used the first hour or so using the avalanche transceivers in search mode. For us and perhaps one or two others in the group, the practice wasn't new but served as good revision on what we had already learnt on the skredkurs >>>

Breitinden (Ringvassøya)

Dato:
20.03.2013
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Distanse:
14,0km

I dag ble det en jentetur til Breitinden på Ringvassøya med både Kristin og Aline. Det var flott å ha Aline med på tur igjen, spesielt fordi det hadde blitt nesten to måneder siden vår siste tur sammen. Strålende sol, lite vind og et nytt fjell som turmål gjorde at vi følte oss veldig spent på å komme oss ut på tur så fort som mulig. Heldigvis var reisen til utgangspunktet ved Simavika bare en halv time bilkjøring fra Tromsø. Dro relativt tidlig fra Tromsø omtrent kl.9.30, så var det kl.10.15 da vi begynte turen. Vi visste at turen skulle bli enkel med en jevn, slak stigning nesten hele ruten oppover. Vi valgte å bruke veien som gikk inn i Ytredalen og det var et par kilometer før vi tok av til høyre (sør) siden av dalen og begynte å få spist noen høydemetre gjennom >>>

Nonstindtraversen med FSG

Dato:
16.03.2013
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark

After what had seemed like a long time since my last trip with the fjellsportgruppa, it was finally time for another fellestur. This time the objective was a traverse of Nonstinden. And now that I had built up a little toppturing experience with half a dozen or so ski trips since investing in a pair of randonee skis two months earlier, I was under the (perhaps false) belief that my skiing had graduated to a level of proficiency to potentially keep up with a group of Norwegian ski-masters. While the group actually turned out to be a rather international mixture of Norwegian, Swedish, Polish and British, it turned out that I had overestimated my ability to steer a pair of planks on my feet downhill. Nevertheless, my uphill skiing abilities seem not to present any problem at all, apart from causing >>>
