Big summit with expansive views and fine ski descent
Sautinden and Pilan - Lofoten Islands ski day 4

Ryten - Lofoten Islands ski day 5
A small peak on Moskenesøya that has stunning views down to the sandy Klavika beach, but we were in the clouds.
Roger and Peter's roadtrip
Rundfjellet - Lofoten Islands ski day 6
A towering peak with a short climb to the summit, more spectacular views and a great ski descent
Himmeltenden - Lofoten Islands ski day 7
Big summit very close to the sea. A steep sustained climb to the dramatic ridge and a steep ski down in soft wet snow.
Narvikfjellet, Narvik - Ski day 8
Ordinary weather in Narvik. We skied up towards Narvikfjellet into the low cloud then down the piste. Great fish meals in Narvik! In the afternoon we drove to Riskgransen in Sweden - their highest ski resort.
Steinskardtinden, near Tromso - Ski day 9
Lovely peak with great snow and views
Wildlife and other sights
We were very lucky to see a spectacular display of the Northern Lights the night we arrive at Hopen. The display lasted for about 10 minutes and danced around the night sky. A triple helix band of fluxed and twisted directly over our heads. It was astounding.
We were also very lucky to see two Moose close to the road. They are spectacular animals, both huge and nimble.
