Road trip to Scandinavia, 2005 (Hemavan, Tärnaby, Narvik, Riksgränsen) Stopping for lunch somewhere in Sweden Cloudy Hemavan Swedish way of parking cars Tärnaby village as seen from our lodge. We stayed in Tärnaby and drove to Hemavan from there. Spent one day in the local resort also. Practicing the search of avalanche victims Samu surfing in Tärnaby On the last Hemavan day we finally got sunshine and made a decision to hike to the nearby peak to make a run to the valley behind it Half of the group already on the top You haven't been on top unless you have been on _the_ top Matti The valley Mikko L Mikko L, posing Samu coming down.. ..fast.. ...to full stop. Heikki Traversing away from the valley Jukka Mikko V Matti and Heikki saw a large area of untouched snow so they had to hike a bit more. Others waited. Narvik, a view from the restaurant on the top cabin station. Unfortunately the top lift was closed for the whole time we were there so this is as high as we got. Matti enjoying the powder Riikka. You can see Narvik below. It was funny that a city of that size has both sea AND a mountain in the city center! Samu the ski jumper Matti prepares for the evening by nerding The headless chickens heading to the city for some food and beverages Narvik by night A shitty lift in Riksgränsen made us wait for 20 minutes Last day of our trip, climbing to Nordalsfjäll in Riksgrängsen Samu and his pimped DV camera climbing Almost on top _on_ top Trail of a beast. Mikko V riding the Nordalsfjäll The same hill again Having the last-day-of-the-trip pint A round of 301, winner: Toni. Matti throwing. Sammakko hakkas. And to Hakkas we went in search for motor oil. Found out half of the people there speak Finnish, but they don't have decent oil there. Luckily a Finnish-speaking gentleman agreed to sell us some oil he had in his garage.
