I had to get some mountain fun during this bright sunny day since the yellow season will take over soon and i don't like that colour palette to be honest. Akureyri has always been the best ski resort in Iceland, but despite the name of my country, the supply of snow is not constant, not even here in the north around 80 km. south of the arctic circle. This winter was actually not very snowy but this important weekend got somehow rescued with a few snowy days recently in addition to the snow machines that helped a lot. And this is not me on the lift, just a happy skier enjoying the view like me. The trip ends with view to the north and notice how snowy the east cost of the fjord really is, all the way down to the coast. This is Látraströnd coast, where my Granny was born and raised and i have a new video online that covers that coastal road here: youtu.be/FyA0TLOv2Mw
The Hlíðarfjall ski resort usually opens in December or January and offers 8 ski lifts than can carry you to an elevation of 950 meters, and many prefer to do a little additional hiking to the top for cross country skiing and fantastic view. Skiing is still is a growing part of the tourism in Akureyri and supports other industries such as hotels, and restaurant services.
