Couple of days ago Marko wrote about summer ski possibilities in Norway. Sure there are some. But in general, if you want summer skiing in Europe you must head to the glaciers and stick to the relatively limited skiing they offer (not to say that it is bad necessarily, it just doesn’t compare to the real winter [...]

It is late May. What are you planning to do on summer? Going to ride your bike? Sailing or paddling? How about summer skiing in Norway? Oh yes, they haven’t closed all the ski resorts yet. Few nice ski resorts are still open offering summer skiing.
Probably the best ski resort of Nordic countries is Stryn [...]

Couple of our last posts were all about world class, high risk freeskiing - something that is very interesting to follow and exiting to watch but actually have quite a little to do with most people’s everyday skiing, after all. So, this time we offer something really different from the adrenalin filled world of top notch ski athletes: mellow (but not boring [...]

Skiing in Helsinki in these days is merely a joke. Anyhow, I still feel like skiing. I would like to feel the cold mountain air and get some faceshots [...]

Couple of days ago we listed the top-ten ski resorts we have already visited.

This is a quick review (from a too short afternoon visit) of Dachstein Glacier in Austria. It is also a story about backing up from an off-piste descent. You rarely hear / write stories about the decisions to turn back. But I think those might be good to hear more often. Generally, even when we [...]

Two families, three small kids, wifes also avid snow sport enthusiasts. A week long ski holiday. Stay insane and try to get some fresh turns here and there…while still going back home not divorced? An impossible equation?

I have friends who never take their families or even wifes to ski trip. A perfect strategy if you [...]
