Good morning. 7AM: -10.9 Celsius, light air, overcast, good visibility. We had some snow fallen overnight - about 1cm. We are looking ahead of a busy weekend and week, because half term visitors are coming.
8PM update: Great day out - turned out to be a sunny one! Nice trip on Svartfjellet - with some off-piste exercises.

Another day out




What a day! Sunny and clear sky all day long - amazing sunrise and sunset colours. We went up Veslefjellet to see the views, which were stunning - Jotunheimen, Rondane and the whole Venabygdsfjellet in clear view. Great mix day of snowshoeing and skiing. I hope the forecast is wrong, so we will not have too cloudy and snowy day tomorrow.

Sunny and clear


7AM: - 10 Celsius, light air, clear sky. Trabeliafjellet, Kyrkjegardsfjellet and Indre Uksan trails were prepared yesterday. Let's enjoy this beautiful day.

Weekend

Another 3-4cm of snow welcomed us this morning. At 7AM it was -18 Celsius, overcast, light snowfall, fair visibility. Not much has changed since (11AM), except almost all our trails were cut(not Veslefjell Rundt) or being cut now. Enjoy the weekend and the great conditions.
Evening update. We had mixed conditions all day, from snowing and blowing to calm almost sunny weather. I managed to have most of them while I was checking out the majority of our trails (outer circle). It was a fair challenge especially against the wind,cold, snow and low visibility. Good quality day out with more than 55km -"mini Birken" at Venabygdsfjellet.

Cold and foggy



7AM: -23 Celsius, calm, low visibility, local fog. No trails have been cut this week, although tracks are still in ok shape. More skiing in forested areas!
9PM update: We decided to take the risk of going North hoping for the fog lifting up - and it did! Great day out in cold and sunny weather, then things changed this evening - light snowfall started.

Thursday


This morning we could clearly see the change as it started snowing. Temperature still stayed below - 10Celsius, light snowfall and limited visibilty follewed us all morning - then this afternoon clouds lifted and we had better views. There was some wind coming from S-SE, which made us staying in forrested areas - exploring our snowcovered landscape.

Snowshoe tour






Another cold morning, temperature around -20 Celsius. We decided to head out and see Dorfallet, Veslefjellet and panoramic views of the central part of Venabygdsfjellet. We had keep moving all the time to keep comfortable and warm, but of course managed to enjoy scenery. Good 4 hours snowshoeing in varied snowconditions gave us a good workout.
Looking at the clouds it seems like there is a change on the way, maybe tomorrow?
