At the moment we have some of the best days of the season here in the Lyngen alps. Hard to find good powder skiing but the entire range is a playground with stable snow and fantastic spring skiing in the sun. Enjoying fantastic days at the AscentDescent Ski Lodge in Lyngen and even if we have a pretty shallow snow pack in places the cold nights is saving the rest of the season. 2016 is getting filled up as we speak and it´s really fun that 10 years of hard work is paying off!

March is always a month when we have a lot of mixed conditions. It´s been windy and warm lately with occasional rain showers. More snow is around the corner as we´re filling up The Ascent Descent Ski Lodge in Lyngen with guides and groups. The best time of the year for skiing in the Lyngen alps has started and we´re not stopping until June and summer arrives.
This is from one of our ascents last week and although we had heavy winds and some warm weather we had a lot of good skiing. Photo: Jimmy Halvardsson
Opening week here in the Lyngen alps and AscentDescent Ski Lodge Lyngen. A lot of good skiing but also mixed weather. Early in the week we had some calm days but this weekend the wind has started to pick up. We have three months of ski guiding in the Lyngen alps in front of us and the groups, guides and staff are ready to welcome our guests. Best Regards / Jimmy Halvardsson

Opening the Ascent Descent ski lodge in Lyngen for the spring with a boat tour to Arnøya. Yesterday night we also enjoyed watching the stars and aurora borealis from the jacuzzi so we could not ask for more really. Todays skiing was pretty good considering the snowpack we have at the moment. Lot´s of hard snow over the area but two days ago we had a snowfall which covered pretty good here and there and made our ski today pleasant.
A classic ski to the sea tour!
