Trip Summary

With new snow outside, we decided to take our skies and head towards Bildøybakken for an excursion into the snow. We parked at the lower end of the road which leads up to the dam of Bildøyvatnet, then following this road up to the dam. From there, we then ascended to Bildøyfjellet. Then, we continued across the heights of Bildøybakken (southwards to Vardafjellet). We then decided to connect to the southern end of Bildøyvatnet in order to cross it (on skies) south-to-north. This worked just fine and it did not take us all to long before we were back where we had started the afternoon.
