The weather was shifting a lot, and in the space of driving to Kattfjord it had been snow and sunshine twice. It was snowing heavily when we parked next to Kattfjordskole but decided to give the trip a try anyway. We followed a small path to the right side of a house which met the lysløype after a few minutes.

We followed the lysløype up and gained elevation quite slowly. We came off lysløype and started breaking trail at tverrelva. There was lots of powder so me and … took turns breaking trail. Once we came over the tree line and started heading for the summit the weather turned for the worse and we got stuck in a complete white out. Paal was already ahead of us but we decided not to go any further as his tracks were already covered.

We got changed and waited for him to come down. Really sketchy skiing for the first few hundred meters in total white out, but after we got to the tree line again it got bearable. All in all an okay trip but probably not the best for a heavy powder day. Takk for turen uglefisk (Paal Andre Lund) og Pauke!

Og klart var det sol så snart som vi kom nærmere bilen
