Snow is melting and the summer is on the way.

You can still go skiing and skitouring in the mountains and when Trollstigen road opens it will give an extra month of skiing in the area.

Down in the valley the rocks are dry and climbing and bouldering season is full on. Beautiful time for lots of possibilities for different activities.

Da er snøskredvarsling i gang for sesongen 16-17.

Winter is just around the corner and there is already some snow in the mountains. Autumn was warm and pretty dry so it’s been good conditions for bouldering.  Autumns was also time for meetings, courses and conferanses. Good way to relax after a busy summer season in the mountains.

Work in the clouds 🙂

It’s been amazing start for the winter season 2015. Lots of snow during christmas and now in january too. Days and weeks gone with skitouring work and avalanche observation work. You can check avalanche danger in Romsdal

So it looks like it’s going to be good and long winter.

Skitouring

It’s been a quiet half a year, at least here in blog. In reality it means it’s been busy outside web, in the real world. Summer ended up very good with lots of nice and clear warm weather so the climbing and guiding season in the mountains lasted extra long. There is a lot happening in Rauma and Romsdal tourisme as well.

This week I also went to the International Adventure Conference in Sogndal and it was pretty inspiring!

Now the days are getting guite short and we are waiting for the snow and winter. There is some snow over 700 meters but just not enough to go skitouring yet. In the meantime we have fantastic bouldering conditions in the valley.

Summer has arrived in Romsdal. Climbing conditions down in the valley are good. Higher in the mountains you can still go skitouring and there is enough snow for a week or two. Maybe the best time of the year to do everything at the same time!

Lots of skitouring as usual.

Between snow showers.

October has arrived and the days are getting shorter. It’s rainy but colourful.

Summer turned out pretty busy climbing and working in the mountains. 4 months mountaineering trips in Romsdalen is behind. Also a glacier course for people from Finland were success with great weather and good group spirit.

In Romsdalen it was mainly climbingtrips to Romsdalshornet, Kvanndalstinden and the other 7 “Mountain King and Queen” peaks. Climbing courses and easier hikes were also in program. I’ve met many interesting and nice people this summer. Thanks for the talks folks!

Now it’s time for some own climbing and traveling before the winter is here, and the snow covers the ground.

There will be skitouring, iceclimbing and avalanche courses to come. Also skitouring courses for those who are new to it. You can check out my working blogs:
