On Thursday we went to finish of our Norway adventure where
it started – on Russetind. We hooked up with two young Tromsö locals, Lars
Andreas Nilssen and Vegard Rye and did the walk up in a neat 2,5 hours. It was a
perfect day, fairly cold, no wind and bluebird and the ski conditions where to
become amazing.
The wonderful east face of Russetind, about 1200 vertical meters of fun!
When I dropped in at the top I found really good snow and
just had to go for it, as the slough cloud got huge behind me. I skied about
half the face in one go and waited for the crew at the entrance of the skiers
left couloir at the end. Everyone had a blast and our two Norwegian friends
dubbed the ski “one of the best descents in their lives”! For me it was the third time I climbed this mountain, and the second time I have skied the face and I have to say this was my best round - so far - as i definitely will be back!
The whole roundtrip was over in less than 3,5 hours, and we
got back to Lyngseidet for a late lunch before we went for one last ski tour in
the sun set!
