Trip Report: Snow Camping in the Lyngen Alps of Norway | Photo Tour:

(editor’s note: Zach has been living and working on and skiing from a boat in Norway’s arctic circle all spring.

The impalpable sensation of hiking, skiing, and camping amongst these fjords was finally shared with others. Much like last year, we ate when hungry, slept when tired, and skied constantly. […]

Dream Trip: Skiing Powder from a Boat Within the Arctic Circle | Photo Tour

With stability, and a bit of luck, things in Norway began to fall together nicely. I met Gottfried, a fiery ginger chef who is part Norwegian, part Russian, part world nomad, and part something else entirely while walking the docks of Tromso.
