Skiing: Steinskvanndalen

More or less a repeat of our skiing trip in Steinskvanndalen just over a year ago. (Although this time struggling much less with trying to find out where to start skiing from.) Overall excellent conditions for skiing, with freshly made ski trails that could be followed all the way to Øvre Kvanndalsvatnet. Before starting our descent, we made a short off-trail detour in relatively deep snow to the summit of Rundehaugen (the only reason why this trip is labeled backcountry skiing and not cross-country skiing), which provided great views towards the bigger surrounding mountains and a good place to enjoy our lunch. In summary, once again an excellent trip in an area that can be highly recommended for skiing!
