After breakfast, I left the lodge at a little past 10.
The weather had been really good since that morning!! But it was just -18℃
even in the day.
When the sky gets clear, the temperature doesn't get high.....
|
On the day, I cross-country skiied on the trail below and climbed up to
the summit of "Mt. KUKAS."(474m)
|
|
● Point ①
This trail is actually the walk up summit hike trail, not flat skiing trail,
so much steeper
|
than every trails I had experienced before. But there were some skiers,
who skied up
gracefully with advanced skills on the trail. I couldn't what I was seeing...
|
● Point ②
Because the temperature got lower near the summit or not, I started to
see
frozen ice covering trees nearby. They really went so well with the perfect
blue sky!!
|
I could look down whole Äkäslompolo village from here.
|
● Point ③:The Summit (474m)
Finally, I made it and the great scenery was waiting for me there.
|
Some skiers around me were shouting and taking pictures a lot at the summit.
I could look down everything around the mountain!! Just see pictures below!! |
