In Nord-Lenangen in the Lyngen alps the snow gods has been giving us days and days with the white stuff.. Hard wind now and then but in general the ski touring is fantastic. As alway the visibility comes and goes here, even in the worst of weather, so just being out on the mountain normaly pays off! A couple of weeks since last update here but we have been out on the mountain daily since then and it´s been good times… The conditions does not really allow us to go in very steep terrain at the moment but skiing powder is always fun!

The season starts for real this week with an avalanche and skitouring lecture in Tromsø on wednesday and first ski touring clients on thursday. March often gives good snow conditions in The Lyngen Alps and fantastic Northern lights in the evenings.
There will be some highly qualified guides joining the AscentDescent guide team this season and we want to welcome both skiers and guides to Lyngen and Northern Norway.
… And yes, we have some dates left for the ones looking for a last minute trip so just call or mail for more info…
See you soon! / Jimmy, Petra and Max
Kvaløya outside tromsø is a great ski touring island with many peaks up to 1000 metres. Here we ski a nice slope close to our home in Tromso. Skier: Petra Halvardsson
