Happy new year!
We have now reached the serviced mountain cabin “Umbukta fjellstue” and we celebrated new years eve here.

Celebrating christmas outdoors
We have been skiing for a couple of weeks now and been battling bad snow conditions. In the forest the snow is powder and over a meter thick, making progress really slow.

Land of the Aurora
We have been walking in snow for many days now and for each day as we go further north, the snow gets deeper and deeper. We counteract this by finding forest roads that still is kept free from snow.
