Living in Rovaniemi Finland these are some of the closest big mountains from my doorstep. Being a 2 hour drive away from the border and another 3 hours to the mountains it's a unique destination. Being mostly alpine mainly based out of the town of Kirovsk I've made 4 separate trips to the Kola Peninsula. The terrain ranges from wide open bowls to steep couloirs an all in between.

In 2012 I had the good fortune to make it down to South America with the Sweetgrass Film Crew. Working on the Solitaire Film we arrived in Bolivia for 3 weeks of touring the high country. After that I made my way down to Argentina and explored Las Lenas with them battling harsh winds and low snow. Though the stars didn't align that often when they did it was all time.
