Today at work

Today I went across Trondheimsfjorden and after 3 hours driving I parked my car.

I had my snowmobile in the trailer.

After a 20 min ride I got stuck for the second time. I assume that the snowdepth was about 1,5 meters. Nothing but powder. Most of the time it was hard to see where to go because everything was white, like a whiteout. Under these conditions it is hard to keep the right speed in order to stay on top of the snow.

I got my snowmobile up and running, but it was a tough ride. If you think driving a 260 kg snowmobile is like taking a walk in the park,  think again.

Just in front of a steep hill I parked my ride and put on my snow shoes.

I had to get up this hill and some hundred meters further.

Almost at the top the weather changed. Again. For the umpteen time this day.

But I could spot my radio tower. Yihaa.

Wind and snow did not stop me this time. I got my work done.

ABC Wednesday

ABC Wednesday, letter O for Off road.

In my job I need to go off road many times a year. Sometimes I walk, sometimes I use ATV and snowmobile to get to a mountain top. I use a Polaris 6x6 ATV in the summertime and a Polaris Switchback 600.
Most of the time it's fun to use these vehicles, but sometimes I get stuck with the snowmobile. 260 kg stuck in deep snow can be a challenge to dig out and lift alone.

Now and then I go by helicopter to save a lot of time.

These pictures are shot with an Old camera, hence the quality.
