Umpihankinhiihto!

Went with SOOPA for a ski expedition weekend starting in Sankivaara

My school bag, plus waterbelt worked just great!
Add a borrowed sleeping bag, and SOOPA ski equipement, and I was all set

Very convenient- lean-to's with bonfire pits along the way, not to mention dry firewood!


The never-ending chore of scraping ice and snow off of the bottom of the wooden skis

Navigating with a map and compass

And, we came upon a little cabin in the woods where these little elves lived!

Very nice sauna.

Melting snow for water- the well was frozen.

Soup has never tasted so good before.

It's always entertaining listening to conversations with a mix of English, Finnish, and Czech.

The group, eleven strong.

Beautiful weather on the return trip!


Moose tracks and bedding site.
