Storhaugen is a popular ski peak with great views across Kåfjord to the Lyngen Alps. This was my first outing for my one week stay in Olderdalen in the Kåfjord region.
I got an early start to beat incoming weather. I drove to the route start and parked among some campervans then headed off along the skin track, stopping to check out a small wooden hut .
Good skinning up through the trees in cool weather with no wind. Views across the fjord to the Lyngen Alps opened up as I climbed .
A snow cloud was descending on the higher peaks above as I worked my way up to the ski summit of Storehaugen following the Varsom map app.
There was low avalanche hazard with firm snow.
I got to the summit cairn on the ridge as the snow clouds arrived. After a snack and some tea I enjoyed a superb ski down finding some soft snow with enough light to see the slope.
I passed a large group on their way up.
I got back in good time for lunch and a rest with the weather deteriorating.
