Ski hike in Sweden around Kebnekaise in late February
We are planning to do 8-day ski hike around Kebnekaise later this month before the huts or Fjällstation opens. We have required experience and equipment to be self-sufficient without the external services, but we lack knowledge about the possibility of avalanches on our route.
Our planned route goes clockwise Nikkaluokta - Kebnekaise Fjällstation - Singi Fjällstunga - Sälka Fjällstunga - Nallo Fjällstunga - Vistasstunga - Nikkaluokta. We noticed the national Swedish services have not started updating the current situation in Kebnekaise massif, so if anyone here has knowledge of the potential avalanche danger on this route, information would be highly appreciated.
We currently lack any avalanche equipment (despite aluminum spades) and real knowledge of the areal need for beepers and such. Furthermore, neither of us has any real alpine experience, since Finland's tundra and forests are our only previous playground. Any experiences or other knowledge about the area in late February is welcome!
