Snow Crust

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA We spent sunny Saturday last week at Ski Resort Ylläs and still wanted to go for cross-country skiing in the evening. We were so tired after that. But one bad mistake! We hadn't asked anyone to heat up the sauna for us...

You might not believe that it is evening time around 7 pm. Days are getting longer and longer!

Olavi walked around with his skis and made paths for us to follow.

This is the Spring time when clear sunny days and frosty nights change in turns making the snow crust hard enough to support a walking person. This kind of snow crust is perfect for skiing without tracks on the field.
