North Norway is shining at the moment. The Lyngen Alps is one of the jewels not far from Tromsø for skiers that don´t need lifts and comfy infrastructure (there are accommodations...). Trond Aalde and I went to Nord Lenangen (a place in Lyngen) to ski, take photographs and have a nice time. Skiing with Trond is super, a good pal and a super skier (former world champion telemark skier) trying to hang on to down the mountain sides is challenging, both for me and my dog; Pinga. Trond also gave me the opportunity to try out next years skiis, bindings and boots. Canadian skis - Genuine Guide Gear (G3) and Dynafit boots and bindings. He imports this stuff to Norway and his mission is off course to have everyone in the world using it. I can sign on that what he gave me works, you can see the signature down on front of the mountain Storgalten in Northern Lyngen. We did all our skiing trips in the evening to get the best light and the best snow (the last pic of me skiing down is at about 9:30 pm) - no alpine start necessary. Take your tent, rent a car in Tromsø, drive out to Lyngen and find a beach and camp and ski a nearby mountain or just stroll along the coast for a while looking at rocks and shorebirds. Good luck. (all pictures here are taken by Trond exept the one of him that I took).
