Time for snow ❄️❄️❄️

What struck me most in Sarek was the absolute silence and peace... Not a human around, no planes flying over, no nothing but for the snow, the mountains and the tracks of wolverine, lynx, arctic fox, snow hare and ptarmigan. It's the most silent place I've ever been... also... the coldest. Our backcountry ski expedition, though nothing like a thruhike of months in a row, is definitely my most memorable adventure so far, the one I keep on thinking of "Fuck, I did that?" But... might well be our next adventure pushes Sarek to a second place 😁... Stay tuned! . #sareknationalpark #sapmi #visitlapland #sarek #sarekskiexpedition #fjällskidor #minus35degrees #silenceismyfavoritemusic #sweden

Fjäll or mountain? Sweden or Switzerland? So hard to decide where to go in the next couple weeks... I guess we'll just be spontaneous and see where the adventure takes us 🤪 #backcountryskiing #fjällskidor #sarek #sareknationalpark #visitlapland #sapmi #goforsnow

Catching up on our time in the Eastern Sierra past June and July. This beautiful dayhike along the North Fork of Big Pine Creek to Second Lake and Temple Crag killed my hips but it was kind of worth it. I took a wonderful cold swim in the lake before hiking back down and driving back to our desert camp in the Inyo Mountains. The Sierra Nevada will always be my first love in the States, a place I'll always return to! 🏔❤️ #Sierranevada #easternsierra #secondlake #templecrag #bigpinecreek #bigpinecreeknorthforktrail #homeawayfromhome

Swipe to see what happened past July... I haven't been very active on Instagram in the past 8 months, so before I start sharing about our upcoming adventure I got some catching up to do. Like about when in July, during our annual Yosemite visit, we watched this beautiful sunset on Half Dome and Dan asked me a question. What else could I answer but 'YES'? 😄 He had a white golden ring with a small opal made for me and he had been carrying it around in his backpack for almost a month before we finally made it to one of our favorite spots in the Valley.💍 Here's to a thousand more adventures with my best friend! ❤️ #ahwahnee #yosemite #halfdome #Isaidyes #engagement #couldntbehappier #yosemitevalley #love

Today is my 2nd hippaversary, as we hip-patients call it. 2 years ago I woke up in the ICU, with too much pain to bear. The morphine and pain meds knocked me out for several days. It took me so long to recover from this surgery; to be honest I still am recovering and I probably will be for the rest of my life. It's been a tough few years, but it's also been quite amazing. Learning to walk again after 3 months of laying down (which you can see in the first video) is a humbling experience. And after four or five months I was able to take a few steps on the stairs (second video). There are things I can no longer do, like running, jumping, sitting on a normal chair, going on a day trip or hiking marathon days, but I found a way around these things and my life is pretty damn awesome. It's different yes but I'm still living my dream. 8 months after surgery I took my first very careful hiking steps back on the PCT in Oregon and Northern California, 7 months later I went on a backcountry ski tour through Lapland, and there is new adventure in the making right now. Having my hip cut to pieces and reconstructed has made me a different person, there definitely is a before and an after, but the core of who I am stays the same. I'm just more aware of how vulnerable yet also of how incredibly strong we humans are, I'm more grateful for this miracle of how the body works and its healing powers, I'm softer now and thankful for small everyday life things... And I can't wait for the next adventure to begin... As always: Onward! #hipdysplasia #periacetabularosteotomy #paowarrior #ganzosteotomy #hüftdysplasie #paosurgery

Subaru Germany published an article of our Sarek winter expedition in their Subaru Drive Magazine. They picked one of my favorite pictures to be the title picture. It was taken on our second last day and I like how it shows how gray and dark the day was, but I was so happy and maybe also a bit proud about this adventure and the fact that I almost made it back to Kvikkjokk. I like the printed version better than the online version, but still if you'd like to have a look (the article is in German but the pictures are...well... universal), just follow the link in my bio. #sareknationalpark #kungsleden #sarekskiexpedition #visitlapland #sapmi #visitsweden #sarek #fjällskidor #takelessdomore #paowarrior @subaru_europe

Having 3 weeks off our plan was to visit my brother in Sardinia, where he runs a climbers hostel, but since it's gonna start raining all over Europe and I haven't felt too well lately, we've decided to just stay at home and enjoy the beauty right in front of our doorstep. #lahn #holidayathome #fallcolors #packrafting #beautifulgermany

Yesterday my favorite being in the world died and I am absolutely heartbroken. To many Phoebe might just be another cat but to me she was my companion for the past 7 years; always by my side in good times and in bad. When I came home from hospital she immediately came to lay next to me and didn't leave my side. When I couldn't move my body she would come sit on my chest and calm me down with her purring, when I had to do PT exercises and had to relearn how to walk she was right there. She was our family to come home to, the one running out the door of our little cabin to come greet us, she really meant the world to us. We will love you forever Phoebe ❤️ #bestfriend #phoebe
