Low tide snowconditions in the european alps tempted us to follow the snow up to the far north of Norway and to explore, hike and ride the remote mountains there.
After the last two years of realizing our hike project in the Austrian alps and at the end of a really bad season here in our Austrian home mountains our search for snow brought us up to the northern part of Norway. Bib Pekarek and myself were driving up my dads campervan filled up with everything we would need for hiking, riding, surfing and camping out in the snow.
Up there we met our skiing friends Stefan Häusl and Björn Heregger to complete our crew of riders plus our camera team of two. The mountains up there are insane, some of them stick right out of the ocean and are about 2000m high. it can be quiet a mission to reach the lines you want to ride so beside some experience and knowledge, it is good to bring everything you need for exploring, like a rope to rappel into some couloir for example.
As days get longer and longer so far north until it doesn't get dark at all anymore we once had our last run at 10pm before getting up at sunrise at 3am again to hike up for our next mission.
The most difficult challenge for us was the weather which was always changing and made it impossible to plan stuff ahead.
It was an experience and a trip from bad weather frustration to powder in the woods to magic moments in an unreal beautiful mountain environment….
