Ostrander Yosemite vs. Kungsleden Sweden
Hi,
Last year I went cross-country skiing at Taumevatn in Norway and spent a week in February on the Kungsleden (King's Trail) in Sweden. This year I have the opportunity to ski to Ostrander hut in Yosemite. I'm a decent skier who is still building confidence (hills can get the better of me) but I haven't skied since mid-February. I'm trying to determine whether the Ostrander ski is something I'll have fun doing.
Has anyone skied both? Any similarities or differences? Which one is more difficult or has the harder hills? The length doesn't necessarily bother me but the ascents/descents are worrying me. I listed the Kungsleden route below along with sites that give stats on distance and ascents.
Any input is appreciated, thanks!
