Lucky day in the troll peninsula

After spending the night in Akureyri we went to explore the Troll peninsula, and we started to hike up a slope above one of the tunnel after Dalvik, and while we were going up, the weather was getting better and we could see some nice looking north faces. Patrik was getting excited bout getting some great shots with perfect light, and we hike up and down the mountain 3 times to track it all, perfect snow, like 10cm of powder on top of a compact layer, cream snow to ski down...Later we met up with Jokull Bergmen, the local ski guide, he was busy at that time with clients but gave us some good tips, we will be back: www.bergmenn.com
