Today was lighter on the effort. I snowshoed to a kota hut on a river and took some pictures in the mid-day sunlight! #river #winter #snow #northkarelia

The skiing was surprisingly hard, it took five hours to get to this hut and back, 10+ kilometers in total. Someone had left feather sticks for easy firelighting! #skiing #openhut #backcountry #northkarelia

The first proper backwoods skiing trip of this winter! I was in Ilomantsi for three days. #skiing #backcountry #winter #northkarelia

The starter for Christmas was pikeperch soup and on the eve I fried whitefish on the pan, with forest mushroom salad, broccoli, and traditional Finnish sides. #food #fish #christmas

I was in Helsinki over the holidays to cook fish for my mom and I also tried out skiing pants in the Haglöfs store. Rail travel to Helsinki was very pleasant! #Helsinki #NorthKarelia #ClimateAction

We got 15 centimeters of powder snow last night and the skiing was pretty good today! #koli #northkarelia #skiing

The view towards Lake Pielinen from the Koli hills is awesome during the winter. #winter #lake #forest #northkarelia #koli

I tested a new freeskiing jacket by Haglöfs and touring boots. #freeskiing #freeride #touring

The light was amazing in the old-growth forest after the morning skiing. #koli #northkarelia #oldgrowthforest #nature

The skiing season started on the Koli slopes yesterday. #skiing #freeskiing #winter
