This area is one of the absolutely best areas for powder skiing with its long winters and lots of snow. You will have a local mountain guide ready every day of our trip. Their local knowledge will make sure we reach the best areas, while their education and experience will grant you a safe trip.

Every day we can sail to the foot of yet another untouched mountain, and when you return to the boat the dinner will be served.
Step hills give fantastic view and skiing
The trip starts and ends in Ålesund every Saturday. See www.sas.no or www.norwegian.no for flights.
The 43 foot sailing yacht (2008) has three double cabins, two bathrooms, dinghy, kayak, and diving equipment on board. We can sail you to the foot of the mountain so that you literally can start your top climb from the deck of our boat.

Steigen and Lofoten
Steigen is just a few hours sailing away from Bodø where our 45 foot sailing yacht is located. This area is untouched and wild with easy access to the summits with our yacht. We seldom run in to other skiers or sailors here, so you most likely will have the area for your self. This is a rare experience you will not find in places like Lyngen where there is a lot of skiers on every summit.
On our way to another new summit.
When
Start from Bodø every Saturday-Saturday from Februar 12th to May 7th.
Please contact us for price offers.
Bodø is only 90 minutes away from Oslo with plane, and the tickets are moderately priced. See www.sas.no or www.norwegian.no for flights.
The boat is only 10 minutes walk from the Bodø airport, and the adventure starts here.
