Monday
7AM: -20.9, light air from N-NE, clear. Temperatures in valleys and around streams, rivers are much colder now, down at Lundes it was -25 Celsius around 7AM.
Once it is sunny it feels so much warmer. We are expecting even colder weather tomorrow, but slightly changing - "warming up" for rest of the week.
Trail update: Almost all southern and eastern trails were prepared last week and they are in fair condition. Svartfjellet and the North have not been prepared or even marked this year - hopefully there will be some improvement on it soon. If you are planning to go into those directions, please take a detailed map, compass/gps and your skiing and navigation skills.

Cold morning - Five tops tour
7AM: -20.1 Celsius, light breeze from N, clear.
Full day out in the Northern part of Venabygdsfjellet enjoying some climbs and descents off piste and looking at conditions. It started out as a fairly cold day, but the sun and the challenge was strong enough to keep us warm. We enjoyed skiing up to Flaksjolihogda, "Noname" peak, Svarthammern, Tverrhogda and finally Nordre Bolhogda. Great views all around!
