Ustetind from Kikut

Date:
28.03.2017
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
7:23h
Distance:
28.4km

Eight degrees, sunny, almost no clouds, and close to no wind. Only the snow conditions could have been better, as for many sections of the trail we could see the ground through the snow, while for other parts the snow melting during the previous day had turned into ice overnight. Yet at other places we had to leave the trail completely for smaller detours to avoid larger wet areas. Luckily this greatly improved as the trip progressed. The first summit visited was Birgithovda , an easy to reach summit that is very close to the main winter trail. I had to remove my skis to reach the summit though, as all the snow had melted towards the summit. Even though this summit is relatively low compared to its surroundings, it still provided nice views as can be seen from the pictures. The trip quickly continued to >>>

Ruperanden from Kikut

Date:

Characteristic:
Cross-country skiing
Duration:
1:38h
Distance:
7.5km

Short skiing trip from Kikut to Ruperanden . The skiing conditions were poor at the start of the trip, where we had to look out for rocks sticking out of the snow in order to not damage our skis. But as soon as we hit the main skiing trail the conditions improved significantly. The wind started to pick up during the trip though. Tailwind on the way there and an even stronger head-wind on the way back towards Kikut.
