What this video covers
Selma Bauk, a journalism student, joined her father and family friends aboard a Boreal Yachts 47 for a ski-and-sail trip in the Lyngen area of Troms, northern Norway, in April 2024, departing from Tromsø.0:55 The Boreal 47 suited the trip well: large storage for skis and gear, heavy insulation, a fireplace, and an enclosed doghouse allowing the helmsman to steer from inside in cold conditions.3:29 Sailing in the fjords was unpredictable — wind shifts and headwinds meant frequent motoring.2:31 Avalanche risk is a real consideration near the coast, but careful route selection found safe, non-technical ski terrain; in some spots skis went on at the dock, while others required a 500-meter carry.2:11 April after Easter offered good light and fewer other boats, though slightly earlier in the season is preferable for snow conditions.1:22 Sunnmøre has similar terrain but snow rarely reaches sea level there, making Lyngen the more practical choice for ski-to-boat access.4:14 Charter trips in the area are available for those without their own vessel or contacts.5:04
