Today we open door four, and get information for how to get the skiing to the highest score..

The snow ha already stared to fall in the northern part of Sweden, and some of os already longing for some skiing. If you are going to a peak-tour area there are some important thing you need have in control.

First of all choose a are with many different gradients. Often you don’t know before how the wind and snow condition is in the area. And then you got the option to change the plans. With a gradients below 30 degrees you still can find a area to ski in.

Short approach, with that you safe time. As the time of light always will be factor, you can risk to be staying during the night with to long approaches.

Avoid overnighting if that’s not the plan..

Choose a area with accuracy. If there is possibilities in different directions, you got more opportunities for the skiing. If its hard to fins loose snow, you might find some spring snow on the south slopes. And during spring you can often fins cold snow in the north slopes if the quality of the snow is bad overall..

If the weather is bad, and the condition overall is terrible, skiing in the low areas is still an option. For example if its foggy or windy etc.

Use the low area for skiing in bad conditions..

If you not got the skills and knowledge always use a guide. Always ask the locals about the current conditions. And follow the weather forecast. Always use the right equipment as well. A airbag back-pack is a life insurance. But even with the good and right equipment you STILL need the knowledge ands skills…Se ya on the peak:-)
