Thats exactly what I searched for. Thanks YT for recommending 😊 im a sucker for Ski and Alpinist Videos... And 2 weeks ago I been to Iceland the first time and im totally in love... Glad I found your channel 😊 stay safe out there
A fascinating and very different take on Iceland. Great video production and amazing views. I was interested to know what amount of vertical decent you were getting on a good run?
Thank you Marcus! Here in Troll Peninsula region, since many of the lines start at the sea level (ish) I'd say we ski around 800-1000m , with the highest mountain Kerling being a little more inland (and so you start and finish a little bit higher up) measuring around 1500m.
Never been there honestly, from what I know though, it's a good resort, it's just that there usually isnt as much snow as in the north for example, plus its def more crowded since it's near the capital. but good place to hit the slopes i'm sure
It can be either really good or really bad. You never know, every year is a little bit different. You'll get a better idea about the conditions just few days ahead. But generally it's a good month. The worst case scenario is when the snow gets wet, freezes and then it doesn't snow for a long period of time. Then even 20 degree slopes feel like a gnarly terrain haha
Thanks for the quick response. I suspected that would be the case. Sounds a bit like Scotland. You never know the weather until the day! If we undertake the trip then worst case is we enjoy some stunning scenery. Thanks also for your content - very informative.
I'm glad it's helpful, I will try to make a new, more in depth video, hopefully this month. I 100% agree with you and I think that's the right mindset for a ski trip to Iceland. I've seen way too many people pushing it in a bad weather or tricky snow conditions, because they want to use their time here as much as possible. Which I understand, but it's just not worth the risk. Days like this should be spent exploring the area or soaking in a hot springs@@DouglasLamb-e5p

Hi. What do you think about Bláfjöll ski resort?

@@janiniceland Thanks
Tentatively planning a ski trip in March to North / West. Probably first or second week. Thoughts?
