Snow report Northern Norway, 11/25/2015
Today the Gabrielsfjellet (1200 m) 40 minutes by car east of Tromsø was on the agenda. Looks like it's a lot better now, even in the Black Forest, than up here in Nord-Nordwegen. Due to very bad and very little snow, we are on the

Overall impression
Snow condition
Well, it's been above 0 degrees almost continuously since Monday and raining since yesterday, so you can't expect much. In the valley (50 m) 20 cm. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better with altitude either, maybe 30 cm at 500 meters. It didn't look like there was more snow higher up either, but rather even less and quite blown away.
Snow quality
Wet, heavy, grotty, nasty; see last picture.
Risks
Certainly not without in the higher, blown-in areas. But the forest is flat and there is hardly any snow left...
Overall impression
Unfortunately, it was a somewhat disappointing end to the ski touring season in Troms for the time being. It was still really good on Sunday. On the other hand, we knew more or less what to expect. Now it's definitely time to go. I'll be back in mid-January, hopefully with more snow, and will try to present some destinations around Tromsø as well as give you an overview of the very changeable conditions.
