Cloudy Saturday -checking outer trails

6AM: -11.7 Celsius, light breeze from E-SE, overcast, fair visibility.
Late update: It turned out to be an interesting day with weather changing around midday. More snow and mild temperatures in th southern areas and big change around 2PM - sunny and much colder. We checked the outer trails and they were in reasonable condition with 2-3day old preparation and some fresh snow on top.

Windy start

6AM: -3.7 Celsius, strong breeze from W-NW, partly cloudy, great visibility. Unexpected windy condition early this morning followed by an amazing sunrise. We are hoping for a sunny day with a bit less wind.
6PM update: It stayed windy most of the day, but very enjoyable with the interesting light and good snow condition.

Tuesday

6AM: -8.1 Celsius, light air from N, overcast, good visibility. Almost all the trails were prepared yesterday. Our weather seems to change back to winter mode - delivering colder temperatures for the upcoming days.
Later update: it turned out to be warmer then forecasted, so blue extra and violet waxes appeared on our skis later in the day.

Friday -more wind




6AM: -4.5 Celsius, fresh breeze from W-NW, partly cloudy, great visibility.
Late update: Great day out there - skiing from Venåssætra to the northern part of Venabygsfjellet. Partly cloudy and windy conditions followed us. We were surprised to see how much wind deposit was everywhere shaping the surface into a new snow world. It seems like we need to be very careful moving on steep ground, because there is a high risk of avalanches (we witnessed a few in Kvandalen). We were on blue extra or violet wax all day!
