The struggle is real. My friend walking and carrying his skis and poles uphill as he did not have enough grip on the skis. We tried to avoid uphill sections but it is impossible to skip them all in the fjells. From February 2026 ski tour.

@JakeHikes that's quite some snow!
Actually surprised how little there was 🤔
@JakeHikes oh! Okay. Probably not visible on the photo. I just see a lot of white 😉
Yeah, it’s hard to see from the photos. But my friend is walking on top of thin crust of ice, under it is ground. The ice is one of the reason he is walking 🤣
@JakeHikes ahh! Yeah okay. Got it.
