Direct from the airport to the sandy beaches of Kvaløya we went. Today we were welcomed with high winds, but the group diden't let that effect the eagerness to climb Middagsfjellet.
For the last weeks strong winds have ponded the North of Norway. In search of good snow we decided to look into the northern aspects, as the wind was coming in strong from the south. Close to Grøtfjord and Tromvik we stopped at Middagsfjellet. The peak is probably not very often summited by skiers, but today this was the best choice. Great views and a perfect place to do some avalanche training.
Today we learned about: "tuppekos", avalanche trancivers, bad probes and we learned to know each other.
Great start of a Hvitserk adventure!
