Just back after leaving Australian clients at the ferry after 5 days of skiiing together here in Lyngen. They where the third group of skiers visiting this year and it was fun to have people visiting even 34 hours flight time away! We’ve had a great mix of weather so far and that means rain, snow, sun, wind, warm and cold…
At the moment Andreas Fransson, Bjarne Sahlen and Morgan Sahlen (and more) is visiting in our camp in Nord-Lenangen (Northern Lyngen) and On saturday there is new people coming for skiing and we will get our touch of civilization picking them up!

At the moment we ski in the Lyngen alps with good friend and Chamonix boarder John Minogue, accompanied by Bjarne Sahlen, a very talented film maker from Sweden. So far we’ve been lucky with the conditions here in Lyngen and we have also managed to ski some great lines. Based in our camp in Nord lenangen we enjoy the new woodfired sauna, fresh shrimps and good skiing. Watch Bjarnes work at www.endlessflow.net or www.endlessflow.posterous.com
Our minds also goes to all those connected to the tragic accident in Kåfjord three days ago.

Clients making a very nice movie capturing the feeling of having a powder run down from the aiguille du midi. Thanks everyone for a good movie and a great day!
Still guiding in Chamonix at the moment, warming up for the Lyngen 2012 ski touring season. In Chamonix we’ve had a great season so far and lately it’s been very cold and clear. Our spring in Lyngen are almost fully booked but there is still some space in mid May. May is a great time to be in Lyngen so if you’re still thinking about that late skitrip, just send an e-mail and start planning.
Posting some pictures from the guiding recently and if you whant to check out even more pictures you find Ascent Descent on Facebook aswell.

… they say on the chamonix.com webpage, and it feels pretty good to be here when it’s happening. The last couple of days we’ve been spoiled with very good skiing and Aiguille du midi has been fantastic. Not many people after the last snow made it possible to ski fresh trax for two days.. The day before, flegere held endless of powder and were was all the crowds? The answer is probably that january can be a really good month to visit the alps before all the european winter holidays. We are looking forward to the rest of the season here before we head north to the Lyngen alps!
