After getting another 10cm of snow during the early morning hours, we are now, based on official data for downtown Svolvær, sitting at 75cm total. More than enough and much more snow higher up the mountains. Avalanche risk sits at orange severity levels, first ones having reported within Lofoten.
By coincident, this ride falls on the day the ITI 2026 – also known as ITI Alaska – is going to be started. Its the only coincident besides winter and snow, not to forget both sharing amazing winter landscape. Crazy race, not for puppies.
My winter biking appetite is on the rise despite having been hit by a snow spell on the return. Gore, Woolpower, Sorel, Hestra and Rockbros keep me cozy.
Good stuff.
Fair winds…

Fantastic photos. It looks like so much sunshine even if it’s only a few hours. It’s more than here.
