Driving up the Tamokdalen Valley from the Lyngen area this ski tour starts just north of Tamokvatnet. With a full spots cleared out along the road this is one of the only areas where you can cross Nordkjoselva creek without getting your feet wet. After doing a low angle traverse you find yourself within open trees and cleared out spaces all the way to the high knoll. With this area being relatively high traffic it is best to put the skin track off to the side of the slopes to preserve powder for the numerous descents throughout the day.

Once at the high point then it is time to descend loosely following your skin track. Near the bottom you need to make the choice over wether you would like to take more laps or head all the way to the bottom. If deciding to head back to the car it is worth starting to traverse a bit higher than the bottom of the slopes where you would transition to skinning again.

When exiting skiers can make it all the way back to the car while snowboarders will have to switch back to skinning or be stubborn and enjoy the pain of bootpacking in waist deep snow. Enjoy!!
