Photo of the Week: Ode to Biking, Skiing…Norway
It was just a year ago this week that we and our friends Forrest Twombly and Tom Hite set off on an bicycle-powered skiing adventure through the coastal mountains of Arctic Norway. And while flowers bloom and our rivers flow with rain and snowmelt here in the northeast, the experience is fresh on our minds. [...]
Surfing Arctic Norway
We recently stumbled upon this terrific short film about Arctic Norway – produced from a surfer’s perspective. It features some of the same mountain areas that we explored by bicycle and skis this past spring. Whether you enjoy surfing or not, we think you’ll enjoy this! – Brian and Emily
Photo of the Week: Skiing in June – Take 2
Here’s another example of what some of us northeastern skiers are known to do in June – when the snow is gone, but our skiing stoke is not. This is another image from East Greenland’s Schweizerland Alps, captured on a remote island that is part of an Arctic archipelago anchoring the southern end of these [...]

After a month of pedal-powered skiing adventure in a truly fascinating corner of the earth, we are all back home in Vermont again – safe and sound. To the wonderful country of Norway, the weather gods and the many new friends we made along the way: We cannot thank you enough for the abundance of [...]

We’re hoping that the fishing turns out to be at least this good in Norway, too…
2 Wheels, 2 Planks: Big Mountain, Little Town
After catching up on some much needed sleep last night, we ate a very late breakfast before setting our sights for Tromso’s iconic local mountain – Tromsdaltinden – which is featured in the photo below. Looming large approx. 4000′ above this Arctic island town, Tromsdaltinden was impossible to resist. And at the crack of 2:30pm [...]
2 Wheels, 2 Planks: Day One!
After dodging Iceland-born volcanic ash while crossing the Atlantic this morning, Emily, Forrest Twombly and I arrived to the higher latitudes of Arctic Norway. Two hours spent rigging our ski-bikes for the weeks of adventure ahead were followed by a pleasant bike ride to a cozy b&b in the island city of Tromso. Home to [...]
