Fløyen via Vikinghytten to Lønborg
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 completing the Hyttene i Byfjellene list!
Decided to return almost to Dyrhovda (passing by Nordneshytten on the way), before following the same route as on the ascent back down to Jordalsskaret. But when reaching Ulriken, I decided to check if it was possible to continue northwest to Dræggehytten, but soon had to conclude that there simply was not enough snow. After carrying the skis for a short while, I did however put them back on for the last bit down to Kåken.
Here I finally gave up on the idea of skiing all the way to Dræggehytten, and instead followed one of the usual routes (after an initial unusual and not recommended shortcut) down to the northern end of Storevatnet. For this bit I tried to ski when possible, but ended up carrying the skis more than actually skiing.
The amount of snow also varied quite a lot, with the areas with enough snow to ski disappointingly also being the areas where skiing was rather complicated, either due to the steepness or due to too many trees blocking the way. Finally, at Storevatnet I could again put the skis back on and this time I kept them on all the way to the top of Øyjordsveien.
In summary, a very nice trip but with overall less snow than I was hoping for. However, my alternative plan of skiing across Vidden would apparently not have been much better in that respect, as one of the skiers I met coming down from Vidden described her trip as "interesting" when I asked about the conditions up there. ;)

Written by hbar 28.01.2019 12:01Takk! Hadde jo besøkt en del av hyttene før listen ble opprettet, så det gjorde det litt lettere. Og så er jo hytter som oftest en del enklere å besøke enn mange av de fjelltoppene vi vanligvis samler på. :)
