Digging SNOW CAVES and pulling pulk in THREE countries! Ski EXPEDITION to Northern NORWAY.

Описание: In early March 2024 I joined a guided ski expedition from Kilpisjärvi (Finland), towards the Norwegian mountains. The expedition took a week and covered a distance of roughly 100 kilometers, passing famous mountains Pältsa and Barras.

Our group of 12 plus two guides set up 3-person tunnel tents every evening, two persons per tent. Days were spent skiing expedition-style in 50-minute "legs" with rest pauses in between. Evenings were mostly used for melting water from snow, but we had one afternoon reserved for digging up snow caves for sleeping in!

I had a great time with knowledgeable guides Venni and Jaakko from ‪@avotunturit1095‬ and with all people who joined the expedition! Thanks, all!
