Description
This is a guided trip, where we are hunting for the best snow and ski touring lines to be found at these particular days in Jotunheimen. Therefore the programme is highly flexible, and the exact ski tours that we are gonna do, will be decided based on the current conditions and weather.
The adventure starts with arriving at Sognefjellshytta on 5 of May. After arriving, all participants will be lodged for 8 nights in a cosy single room, and enjoy 3 course dinner in the evening.
Day 2-8 will be ski touring days where we are skinning up, in order to find the best touring possibilities at the particular moment in the beautiful big mountain area.
We aim to stay mostly in Jotunheimen, however we might be doing some trips closer to the fiord and lower down in Jostedalen, all depending on the weather and conditions.
Arriving back during the afternoon on day 8, we are enjoying one last dinner, and hopefully having a farewell party.
13 of May, all participants are leaving from Sognefjellshytta, and from there catching the bus back homeward.
Who is this course for
This is first and foremost a guided trip, where the focus is on finding the best snow and ski touring lines to be found at the particulart moment.
The trip will happen during the spring, and that usually means sun, blue skies, corn snow, and unreal spectacular peaks surrounding us!
But if for example if it is dumping snow, we will focus on taking advantage of the fresh powder, and ski it as much as possible. However, if it were a blue bird day with high clouds, we would rather try to reach one of the many spectacular peaks in this area, and of course try to combine it with the best possible snow on the descent.
In order to sign up for the trip, you need to have some skiing/touring experience from before. However it is not necessary to be a "world champion" or similar. Being able to ski down blue/red runs in a resort with speed control, and having done some backcountry ski trips should do it. If in doubt about whether this is the right trip for you, please contact me and let's discuss further.
The goal is simply to just have a good time, and enjoy the best ski touring that we are able to find in the big mountain area also know as "land of the giants"!
It is mandatory to ski with an approved ski helmet during this trip.
We will further make sure that we are never exceeding out capabilities as a group, for therein lies one of most important aspects of doing ski tours in wild mountain regions!
