Kvænen was on my list for this winter and with really nice weather forecast in the evening, we decided to give it a go. We set up camp about a 5 minute drive away, and drove to the start of the trail around 345pm. No other cars in sight made us pretty hopeful we would get this mountain all to ourselves as well. From here we put our skis on straight away and made a trail up through the trees, gaining elevation steadily & effectively.
The terrain was easy to read to choose a safe path up, though the large bowl to the right was filled with avalanches, and we saw some huge cornices break off and crash down into it as we were walking up. Soon after we started heading up, the sun came out, and the haze and wind disappeared. The elevation seemed to disappear quickly today and the views got better and better.
We left the skis just under the summit and walked the last meters by foot, and what a view! No wind whatsoever and everything bathed in the yellow light of the afternoon sun was totally magical.
After a really long break, some photos and some droning, we started to head down. Really nice skiing, nice spring snow and incredible surroundings. I followed the same path down, paal chose to traverse along towards some of the pointy peaks and take a steeper route down. GPS track is only for the way up, my watch got tired of waiting and ran out of battery while paal was droning.
For en dag! Tusen takk for turen paal, og som alltid så kan flottere bilder sees hos uglefisk (Paal Andre Lund).
