Professional skier (and surfing enthusiast), Jacob Wester, explains it best:
Ever since I first stood up on a surfboard, I have had a fantasy of finding a place where I could ski powder snow down a big line, change into a wetsuit and surf perfect waves on the same day… It was like one of those silly daydreams I would wander into on occasion while ski-touring or driving, like a thought experiment where you would be asked to construct the best day ever, no conditions…
For years it stayed just that—a fantasy. In the spring of 2019, a series of arctic low pressures hit Northern Norway, bringing unseasonably cold snow followed by an ocean swell from a rare direction, allowing me to finally realize that dream. In respect towards the locals, the exact location and combination of weather events will remain undisclosed, but it’s there to find for those willing to do the homework.
