Across Vidden via Grøvlevatnet and Hauggjelsvarden

Date:
24.01.2021
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
6:23h
Distance:
25.6km

We started by taking the bus to Montana and carried our skis up to Perabu . From there we skied south to Gløvrevatnet and followed the ridge up to Lidskjalv . After passing by Noreg and Turnerhytten , I made a quick detour on my own to the highest point at Byfjellene , before we followed the typical skiing route across Vidden and onwards to Brushytten . Overall excellent skiing conditions all the way until leaving "lysløypen" and heading for Storediket. Here the snow was increasingly replaced by ice. I still managed to keep the skis on until getting to Vannverkshuset i Skiveien , where I finally gave up and carried the skis for the rest of the trip.

Skiing at Fløyen

Date:
19.01.2021
Characteristic:
Cross-country skiing
Duration:
2:36h
Distance:
13.6km

Yet another skiing trip at Fløyen, but this time starting by taking Fløibanen to avoid the icy ascent roads. Very few people at Fløibanen, maybe just over ten in total. Which was a bit strange given the close to perfect skiing conditions in "lysløypen"! The descent in the direction of Munkebotsvatnet was more challenging, with conditions varying from hard snow to packed ice. I still kept the skis on until close to the end of the steep descent below Vannverkshuset i Skiveien . Would probably have been possible to continue further, but walking was almost as fast and much safer. The snow chains did however not come on until getting to the start of Hellemyrstien (and was perhaps not even needed there either).

An attempt at the usual hike across Hellen festning had to be abandoned when the ascent road was completely packed with slippery ice. I therefore did a walk to Gamle Bergen instead.
