Warmer temperatures is just around the corner and the forecast looks good for those who like sunny days in the mountains. The spring in the lyngen alps often means spring skiing in the lower regions and powder up high in northern aspects. So, it looks good for groups coming skiing with us in May and there is a few weeks open still for groups to come skiing with us…

As usual we get a lot of mixed weather in the Lyngen alps and Tromsø this time of the year. Last weeks has been exceptional with lot´s of heavy storms and avalanche activity. Sticking to low angled skiing up high or tree skiing down low has been the key and the snow has been amazing. We´ve had a few days of sun in between lately and being out guiding in the sun after weeks of heavy snowfall is almost unrealistic. The season at AscentDescent Ski Lodge in the Lyngen alps is about to start, opening the doors on the 1st of March.

Opening the doors here in Nord-Lenangen last sunday and so far it’s been a great start of the season. Lot’s of snow, pretty cold, nice people and good skiing. Every morning when waking up we have 20cm of fresh snow outside and today we had good visibility as well! Stepping carefully at the moment since we have avalanche danger out here but there is plenty of tours wich can be done anyway. With a packed program this winter and lot’s of new stuff going on we welcome all of you who have booked tours with us in the Lyngen Alps. See you soon! Jimmy
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…
