Pallas - Hetta 29.3-1.4.2010

Route: Pallas, Nammalakuru, Montellinmaja, Vuontispirtti, Hannukuru, Sioskuru, Pyhäkero, Hetta
Distance: 74 km
Duration: 4 days
Company: 2 days with the family, 2 days solo

We ski with the family for two long days pulling pulkas from Pallas to Vuontispirtti, via Nammalakuru where we spend the night in complete solitude in a small fell side wilderness hut. We get 20 cm of new snow per day and the going gets very though.
From Vuontispirtti I contiue solo via Hannukuru to Sioskuru, where I spend the night in another wilderness cabin with only the sparking fireplace and reindeer on the fell side as my company. The family drives from Pallas to Hetta to pick me up, and Katarina does a solo ski to Sioskuru giving her a total of 32 km for one day. All in all a very successful ski trip though we had to adjust the plan. Next time we'll be carrying less load on our pulkas and plan for a spare day or two along the way.
