Back to Troms & endless beauty.....

One week ago we had been skinning for about 2 hrs by now. We had just landed in Tromsø 4 hrs before that and were on our way to reach the highest peak in Troms, Jiehkkevarri (1834m). To try and make a long story short: here are some pictures:

Skiing down as the sun is rising again...



not too shappy after 3 hrs of sleep! Time to celebrate our national holiday!


Here we are in Kågen, even further North, headed out to catch our own dinner!

Picture posted for you to laugh.




Dinner!
Thank you so much Gunnar and Hans for making this another amazing adventure! Special thanks to Arnulf for letting us stay at such a wonderful place and head out fishing. It would be fantastic to come back sometime mid-winter and chase the powder!!
