A visit to Stetind then an avalanche rescue scenario in wet conditions at Snubba

Rain, low cloud, warm temps and wind forecast so we headed to Stetind, Norway's national mountain, to check out skiing up in the bowl, but there was not much snow down low due to warm temperatures and rain.  I found out later there was snow down to the road two days earlier.




We drove back through Narvik to Snubba on the road to Evenes. Skied past some curious sheep up to a snow slope in wet snow and light rain. 

We did an avalanche rescue scenario followed by an evacuation with a compact emergency sled that fits over skies.  It was rather wet so it was good to get back to the hotel to dry things out and have a nice dinner.

Force 10 winds forecast for tomorrow so it might be a day off.
