Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

@Sharkymark, going forward I need cast iron guarantees on the sauna situation


Were you ditched for fashion mistakes or sauna etiquette?

Today we revisited a classic that we first skied 11 years ago on our first visit. The snow today was better (sorry @arno). The ascent was scenic. Again.

Sharkymark,

That's definitely on my "to do list." A few questions, if you don't mind...

Are you self guiding or do you have a guide?

And how do you get there? Flight from Oslo or via land and boat?

And finally... what's it like for accommodation options? Puzzled

Accommodation is at a specific ski lodge - https://www.lofotenskilodge.com/

The last two days were mental so yet to catch up on here. Needless to say, they were somewhat epic: the cold fine weather held and we skied in Trollfjord via fast RIBs again and one of the most aesthetic zones out there. Pics to come unless @offpisteskiing gets there first!

A few photo's from me -



^^ It started a little 'Welsh'.



^^ But got better.




^^ And better again. This being a plan 'B'.



^^ A little extra below the main Coulour line.



^^ Another day, another untracked powder field.



^^ Timing is everything. A second team arrived 30 minutes too late.



^^ The exit



^^ Followed by '3rd lunch' by the sea.



^^ Another day, and a boot pack to finish.



^^ 150 kick turns and a boot pack worth it just for the view.



^^ @Sharkymark taking a break half way down.



^^ Skin track leading back up to heaven and pleasantly steep, boot deep powder (or Couloir line)



^^ Catch boat, ski couloirs



^^ @Sharkymark and Tim at the end of the final boot pack of the week.



^^ The crew.
