What it's about: Over-equipped Nikolai plans to ski alone from Finse to Kjeldebu across Hardangervidda, but a talkative woman from the train invites herself along. When a whiteout kills his GPS watch, it is Synnøve who navigates by compass and the wind-ridges under their skis, and she admits why she had to make the trip this year.

Nikolai Brekke hadde planlagt turen i tre måneder. Han hadde lest alle turrapportene på nettet, lastet ned kart på klokka og pakket sekken etter en liste med femtito punkter. Planen var enkel: Han skulle gå alene fra Finse til Kjeldebu, en DNT-hytte sørøst for Hardangerjøkulen, en lang dagsetappe over snaufjellet. Han hadde gledet seg til stillheten. Han hadde ikke regnet med Synnøve.
