Last ski weekend before season starts

Good morning.

This weekend we've had 100 persons from Ottestad, close to Hamar. 50 kids and 50 adults.
They've had the oppotunity with skating possibilities in the Mya area and diagonal possibilities around Trabeli fjell and flaksjølivegen.

-3 this morning and cloudy. 45 cm snow after a few good snow falls the last few days.

Icy week, snowy sunday

The last few days have been icy. So this weekend started with + 4 degrees and klister.

This is in fact the first time we use klister in November. But early sunday morning it started snowing again, and now we have a 4 cm fresh powder layer on top of the ice again.

Totally there is 35 cm snow.

First ski group arrived

Now the first out of three ski groups has arrived. It is Roterud ski group, based close to Lillehammer. Totally they are 90 persons, 20 adults and 70 kids within the age range of 10-16.

The snow conditions are quite good, 35 cm's powder and we have 25 kms well prepared groomed trails around Trabelifjell, and some small connections between Venabu and Lundes.

At Myvegen we have made some skating tracks, so there is a chance to do whatever you prefer.

Warm weekend

Good afternoon.

This weekend has been quite warm, with degrees between -5 and +1, at the moment it's 0 and the snow is slowly dripping away from the roofs. And skiing contitions is not so good, which is quite normal when it comes to temperatures around zero.

There was another 3 cm snow this morning and so there is a total of 40 cm right now.

Track update 4 november

At the moment we are making the base of the trails, so it is possible to ski but there is no tracks.
And we haven't marked any trails yet.

What has been base groomed yesterday and today is Venabu-Kiwi Lundes-Frisketjønn-Granhaugen-Trabelifjell-Høgåsen-Sleivhaugen-Holtesetervegen.

Temperature is -5 degrees.

Snow update

The last 2 days it has been snowing more or less continously.

That tells us that the amount of snow has increased from 7 cm snow till 28 cm in 50 hours.

So within the next days we will start grooming some few kilometers of trails, and I will come back to more regular morning updates.

weather update 1 nov

Good morning everyone.
I hope you had a good halloween.

Last night there came 2 cm snow, so all together we have 14 cm now.
Temperature at 7 was -3 and last nights minimum was -5.

Yesterday we started making a base for our tracks, but there are no tracks groomed yet.

Midnight update

-2 Celsius, light air, overcast and dark. Today was again sunny with a few more clouds around and no sign of precipitation. We had some interesting clouds around and a beautiful sunset which I almost missed. I stayed up for some meteor showers, but I need to settle with my one here in the room since it is overcast.
I will be out for a few weeks on different missions (sport, work, travel), but back soon. While I am gone there will be some updates too by Karl Thomas, so you will not miss out on news.

Nice weather

10AM: -0.1 Celsius, light breeze, sunny few clouds around valley sides . Weather is still keeping far from the forecast as being very nice and sunny in the last 3 days. The future looks pretty similar at the moment. Colours are changing , now we see more dark since top temperatures were in the positive zone.

Sunny day

After a couple of windy days we just had another great day, it was around +2-3 Celsius, sunny with light to moderate breeze. Now at 6PM is -1,4 Celsius, light breeze. Despite of the warmer day it is still good enough to play around the hills, even with skis on (no tracks have been cut).
