The weather in Scandinavia is getting noticeably colder and we’re beginning to look forward to soon hitting the mountains. lifeiscarbon® is lucky enough to own a mountain hide-away on the edge of the Jotunheimen mountains in Norway. It’s a back-to-basics sort of place heated by log stoves, without electricity apart from solar powar and with the only water coming from melted snow. The cabin also happens to be located 22km from the nearest road and, since it’s snow bound from the end of October until early June, getting there involves a 2-3 hour ski trip.
Our thoughts have naturally turned to getting fully equipped for our up and coming ski trips and we’ve been taking a look at some of the best winter equipment from Scandinavia. Here’s a selection of our current favorites
