TR: Three days in Lofoten, Norway
Music https://youtu.be/hN_WEmNsrQI
Not much is certain about traveling to lofoten, but you're gonna get some kick-ass mountains and a lot of weather.
Fighting the wind on Pilan
Ski crampons came in handy on the rain crust
Hunkering down, hoping for a weather window. We didn't get one.
So we found a cafe full of pink hearts
Temptations everywhere. Skiing...
...or culinary
The storm turned from a warm and wet southwestern to a colder northwestern. Yay, snow!

A perfect morning in Henningsvær
With sun, fresh snow and little to no wind we headed for Geitgaljartind
Down 102L. $$$$
Booting up the final stretch

Checking out the south gully.
Stable conditions. Green light!
Summit to sea
Yep.
One of those places you just don't wanna leave...

Has that place in the background seen some fighting in WW II? Looks kind of familiar from the historybooks??

Pictures never do justice but your pics come damn close. Lots of poster-size worthy shots. I think this one is my favorite. Ansel Adams goes skiing.

The beatings will continue until morale will improve.

Ah you know, getting older and fatter, having kids, skiing less - compensating with new, shiny and marginally lighter gear. The old story. And I figured it was about time to learn how to do a p-turn...
AFAIK the wwII fighting was mostly narvik and at sea outside of lofoten. There was the battle of Trollfjorden though, in 1890: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trollfjord

I see you were skiing with Mark and Erin! Great photos! Some day. Maybe sooner than later, but someday.
