Doing this winters last guiding day yesterday with six norwegian skiers from the Oslo area. We had skied the previous 3 days in Lyngen and now it was time to visit Ulstinden on the Tromso mainland. Great peak, with a nice view over Lyngen. A bit windy yesterday but with clear sky and good snow cover. The snow was sticking pretty bad to the skis on the way down but not slowing us down to much ; ) Now it’s time to move south for a little vacation. Starting the summer season on the 20th of june. Gonna keep updating about climbs etc meanwile. Enjoy summer!

As usual we spend the spring in The Lyngen Alps and Tromsø this year. We are already getting booked by skiers who want to see the fantastic landscape and ski the beautiful mountains up here. April and May will be specially reserved for the Lyngen Alps. If you are interested in the skitouring in Lyngen you can visit www.ascentdescent.com where you will find a rough program and more details. Here are some pictures from last season.
On the drive out to the northern end of The Lyngen peninsula you find this old house… you have Ulstinden in the background wich is a great skitouring peak on the other side of the fjord.

On our way to ski the Westface couloir on Jiekkevarri (1834m), wich is the highest peak in Northern Norway. You find this peak on the southern part of Lyngen.
Taking a well deserved lunch break on Veidalsfjellet wich is a great skitouring peak on the northern part of Lyngen.
