Winter Camping in the North. Snow Backpacking & Pitching Hilleberg Soulo & Helsport Tent 4k

Published 2021-04-11
In whiteout conditions, we decided to go ski backpacking in a snow storm. Not a big storm mind you, and not what you would call a "snøstorm" in Norway that would be called a blizzard in English. This was a late season winter backpacking trip with my friend Erling in the mountains in mid April. We used skis, pulk and brought our Hilleberg Soulo and Helsport Svalbard tents for some magic winter scenery.

    Don't eat yellow snow. Beautiful trip. Love the winter camping experience. I've seen people double pole their Hillebrand tents for more wind resistance. Pretty tough.
