Kvitanosi from Gullbrå

Datum:
10.03.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
4:25h
Entfernung:
15,2km

Ever since the earlier attempt to reach Kvitanosi was abandoned only 500 meters from the summit , I had been waiting for another opportunity. And with a near perfect weather forecast for skiing, I managed to convince a colleague of mine to join. Also this time the trip started from Gullbrå, but the light rain, wind and dense fog from the last visit was today replaced by blue skis and next to no wind. Quite cold when leaving Gullbrå (-11 degrees), but we quickly got warm when starting the steep climb and leaving the shade behind. We were clearly not alone in thinking that this day was a good day for skiing to Kvitanosi , as there were fresh tracks by several skiers that we could follow on our way up the mountain, and with 10-15 centimeters of new snow, we were more than happy to follow in their tracks instead of having to make our own. After the initial >>>

Fuglafjellet from Hamlagrøvatnet

Datum:
24.02.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
9:16h
Entfernung:
27,8km

We parked at the small parking lot east of Vesletjørni and from there followed the marked trail towards Vending . Not the best skiing conditions, icy and with lots of areas already running low on snow, and with next to no wind and the sun peeking through the clouds it felt more like Easter than the late February the calendar was indicating. After passing east of Vending, we skied down to the small cabin in Fugladalen, where we had a quick lunch before starting the climb up to Fossavatnet. From Fossavatnet we followed the river up to Øvre Fugladalsvatnet, thus avoiding the steepest sections at the bottom of the valley up from Fossavatnet. Note that one should be careful with regards to the snow conditions when heading up this relatively narrow gorge. Very low risk for avalanches this Sunday though, >>>

Kvitanosi (almost...) from Gullbrå

Datum:
17.02.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
6:21h
Entfernung:
14,7km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association which started by carpooling to Gullbrå. Light rain at the start of the trip and increasing winds as we made our way up towards Kvitanosi . Sadly, part of the group made much slower progress than expected and with just around 500 meters to the summit (and less than 100 vertical meters to climb), it was decided that we would have to start our descent in order to make it down before it got dark. By then the conditions had also gotten worse, with very limited visibility due to a rather dense fog. Splitting the group was therefore not really an option. Hence my main goal of the day had to be abandoned. But in the end it probably turned out to be the right choice, as it started to get dark before the last member of our group made it back down to the parking lot. The weather did however >>>

Across Vidden from Fløyen to Grøvlevatnet

Datum:
02.02.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
22,2km

Started from the upper station of Fløibanen and from there followed the usual skiing route to Rundemanen . Although there had been some new snow since my last visit, there actually seemed to be even less snow at Rundemanen, and the skis had to come off to reach the summit. I did manage to ski down Hyttelien and up to Øvre Jordalsvatnet, but also here there seemed to be even less snow than one week earlier. From Øvre Jordalsvatnet I followed the skiing route up the valley to east of the main trail across Vidden. A bit more snow here, but a lot more was needed here as well. Upon reaching the plateau, the conditions were overall ok, but also here mixed with shorter sections with either very little snow or with more ice than snow. (The latter was in particular the case for the area around Hauggjelsvarden .) After first >>>

Fløyen via Vikinghytten to Lønborg

Datum:
27.01.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
7:02h
Entfernung:
22,9km

Started from the upper station of Fløibanen and from there followed the usual skiing route to Rundemanen . Less snow than I had hoped for the last stretch to Rundemanen (and no snow at all at the summit itself). Getting down Hyttelien also required going more back and forth than usual in order to avoid areas with rocks and/or grass peaking up through the snow. The conditions improved slightly toward Jordalsskaret, but as I turned southeast the snow was more or less completely replaced by ice or grass. Upon reaching the plateau northwest of Øvre Jordalsvatnet the conditions again improved, but on my way up to Dyrhovda , and later to Vikinghytten , there were still plenty of areas that could do with a lot more snow. After a short visit to Arnahytten , I passed by Vikinghytten before making my own shortcut down to Tranehytten and Gangerolf , and with this >>>

Skiing at Fløyen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Langlauf
Tourlänge:
2:53h
Entfernung:
16,6km

More or less an exact copy of my skiing trip from Fløyen to Lønborg earlier in the week, but with a slightly longer route through "lysløypen" before turning north for Lønborg. The skiing conditions for the floodlit track had not changed much, but there was now clearly more snow outside the track. So it should soon be possible to do some proper backcountry skiing. For the descent, I made it almost to Munkebotsvatnet before removing the skis, although it would probably have been fine to continue all the way to the lake. And like on Monday, I put the skis back in Hellemyrstien, but this time I could keep them on all the way to the top of Øyjordsveien.

The first skiing trip of 2019! Started from the upper station of Fløibanen and spent some time in "lysløypen" under excellent skiing conditions. I then turned on my head lamp and headed for Munkebotsvatnet, making it a bit below the smaller dam under Storevatnet, before deciding it would be safest to remove the skis and continue on foot. Probably a good decision as shortly after I spotted the first small rocks peeking out through the snow, and when getting closer to Munkebotsvatnet the snow was completely replaced by ice. I put the skis back on at Hellemyrstien though, but mainly due to being tired of carrying them, as the snow conditions there were far from optimal. But I did keep them on almost all the way to the top of Øyjordsveien without any major issues.

Short skiing trip at Vikafjellet on the way home to Bergen from Sogndal. Not the best skiing conditions, and plenty of areas without little or no snow (including the summit), but still quite enjoyable and a welcomed break from the driving.

Bakkanosi and Fetanipa

Datum:
14.04.2018
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
7:07h
Entfernung:
21,2km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association which started by taking the train to Voss and then a joint taxi to Jordalen. We followed the standard route to Bakkanosi , which started out a bit steep along a snow-covered tractor road before levelling off through Slettedalen and the final ascent towards the summit. The summit itself was quickly passed as we moved closer to the edge for better views. Although getting close the 1300 meters vertical drop down to Nærøyfjorden had to wait for later a summer visit, as the snow made it impossible to see where the firm ground ended, the views were still quite spectacular, but slightly reduced due to a light haze in the distance. After lunch, half of us made a detour to Fetanipa , where the views could not compare with Bakkanosi. Perhaps explaining why there have been so few registered visits on >>>

Skiing at Fløyen after work. Started in nice sunny weather but ended with wet snow from above. Lots of new snow from the night before, but most of it had melted during the day, so not the best conditions for skiing, but still an enjoyable trip.
