Friday

8 AM: -4 Celsius, partly cloudy, light air from N-NE.
Today I have been skiing on my own in the area round Måsåplassen. There were some tracks there that I didn't know (and I found a track that will be nice as a change on the skisafari we have in the area).
The snowconditions this morning were beautiful! If I had started at 8 AM, I would have been fine with blue extra. Unfortunately I didn't, and it got warmer and warmer, +6 Celsius at the warmest, so the waxing got quite difficult, not even red wax worked. Here is a few photos:

New tracks

Still fresh snow on the trees.

View towards Venabygdsfjellet

Fresh snow

7AM: -2 Celsius, light air from N-NV, cloudy.
Lots of fresh snow, 12 mm precipitation last 24 hours. That also means we don't need klister for a few days, red wax worked fine today. Lars took these photos:

103 cm snow with the fresh snow we got last 24 h

6th - 12th of April

The winterseason at Venabu has almost come to an end. This week we have the special handicap-week. People with different handicaps are out skiing and sledging. It's great to see how everybody is enjoying their holiday! Unfortunately the weather has changed and it's warmer (from 0 to +6) and more wet, some snow, some rain.
...so to all our guest that has been skiing the two or tree last weeks in nice, synny weather and  really nice conditions: you were lucky!!!!!

Saturday and Troll skimarathon

Troll skimarathon and beautiful conditions! Approx -8 Celsius when they started at 8 AM, hard tracks and good glide! It warmed up to +4 Celcius during the day, but then most of the 530 skiers had already finished their 95 km..... Svein Tore Sinnes won  (4:26:12).

Great Friday

8AM: -9,5 Celsius, light air from N, sunny.
Update: We have been extremely lucky this week. Perfect klister-conditions. Nice and sunny every day. Today was no exception. Great skisafari from Måsåplassen and back. We went up to Stulshøgdin as well and got a great view.

We also had a shorter tour. They had a great day, here is some more photos:

Thursday

7AM: -8 Celsius, light air from S, partly cloudy, good visibility.
Update: Another great day! Skisafari to Gråhøgdbu (DNT-cabin) and the canyon. Shorter tour in the same area. The tracks are quite hard and icy, but everywhere else it's perfect.

Wednesday

8AM: -11 Celsius, light air from N, sunny.
Update: A very nice day! Just sunny, no wind.
We had a snowshoetour to Myfallet today, enjoying the spectacular waterfall. A bit icy to get down to the bottom, but everybody managed.

Update: The clouds disappeared, it got nice and sunny and we had a beautiful tour in the Dynjefjell area.
