Midtfjell from Sjusete
- Date:
- 16.03.2024
- Characteristic:
- Backcountry skiing
- Duration:
- 5:00h
- Distance:
- 13.3km
Inspired by an external trip report at tinderangel.no describing what looked like a very nice skiing trip from Sjusete to Midtfjell , Endre and I once more drove from Bergen in the direction of Voss but this time headed for Ulvik and the winter parking lot at Sjusete . As we approached the center of Ulvik we left the main road and instead followed a narrow gravel road southwest up from Vambheim. This included passing through an open gate just north of Gjerdet, but whether this gate is always open remains unknown. Done with this one potential hurdle we continued up to the parking lot at Sjusete, noticing that the gravel road was rather icy towards the end but hoping that this would improve before the descent later in the day. Plenty of space at the parking lot, in fact we were the only car and, expect for coming across a fresh scooter trail during the descent, we did not see any >>>
Five summits southeast of Grindaflethytta from Brandset
- Date:
- 09.03.2024
- Characteristic:
- Backcountry skiing
- Duration:
- 11:29h
- Distance:
- 41.4km
In order to make the most out of the excellent weather, and due to road work at Dalseide, Endre picked me up at my place just before six in the morning and together we drove to Brandset at Voss, only having to wait around ten minutes before we could pass through Dalseidtunnelen at 07:00. We arrived at the parking lot at Brandset around 08:30 and it did not take long before we were ready to start skiing. We started by following the icy road into Bjørndalen before leaving the scooter trails behind and making our own way up towards Bjørndalsvatnet. Below roughly 1100 meters the snow was very hard, more ice than snow, but higher up the conditions gradually improved and we therefore had pretty good skiing conditions for the majority of the trip. After a short break west of Bjørndalsvatnet we completed the final ascent to the >>>
Totræna Vinterpark
- Date:
- 08.03.2024
- Characteristic:
- Cross-country skiing
- Duration:
- 3:02h
- Distance:
- 8.0km
Given the excellent weather I managed to convince three of my colleagues to take the Friday off to go skiing at Totræna Vinterpark . Two of them did not have much experience with cross-country skiing though, hence we initially took it quite slow. After a long lunch break at the skiing jumping hill close to the start of the trails, two of us completed the rest of the groomed ski trails at a slightly higher speed, before we all returned to Bergen.
Skiing across Vidden after dark
- Date:
- 19.01.2024
- Characteristic:
- Backcountry skiing
- Duration:
- 4:53h
- Distance:
- 21.1km
Started the weekend early to take advantage of the recent massive snowfall before it would start raining heavily during the next couple of days. After taking the cable car (230 kr) to the top of Ulriken (or more correctly to Ulriken Vest ), I put on the skis and headed towards Turnerhytten . The visibility was not the best and I constantly had to consider whether my plan to ski across Vidden would be doable after all. At Turnerhytten the visibility gradually improved and I decided to at least continue to Byfjellenes høyeste punkt before deciding. When getting there the visibility had thankfully further improved. Encouraged by also seeing other skiers I decided to continue. Shortly after passing Skjulet I connected with the trails of the other skiers and could then easily follow these all the way to Borgaskaret. It would probably have been possible >>>
Skiing: Fløyen and Rundemanen
- Date:
- 17.01.2024
- Characteristic:
- Cross-country skiing
- Duration:
- 4:05h
- Distance:
- 17.9km
Left work a couple of hours early to enjoy the last part of a day of excellent winter weather. After the massive snowfall from the day before there was plenty of fresh snow. The skis came on just after exiting Fløibanen and stayed on until the top of Øyjorden (except for most of Hellemyrstien where I concluded that it was just as fast to walk).
Storefjell and Veslefjell from Øvre Guriset
- Date:
- 29.12.2023
- Characteristic:
- Cross-country skiing
- Duration:
- 3:11h
- Distance:
- 11.5km
The weather in the morning looked promising and we once again set out on a joint skiing trip. However, it did not take long before the gray conditions from the day before returned. And also today the grooming of the skiing tracks was suboptimal due to more new snow. At the crossroads northeast of Storefjell we therefore split up and I continued on my own to the summit. Limited views from the top due to the low-hanging clouds and I did not stay long before returning along the same route, with the exception of a minor detour to the highest point at Veslefjell .
Around Auenhaugen from Øvre Guriset
- Date:
- 28.12.2023
- Characteristic:
- Cross-country skiing
- Duration:
- 2:45h
- Distance:
- 10.7km
Short skiing trip while spending a couple of days at a cabin my sister and her family were renting at Golsfjellet. Due to lots of new snow during the night/early morning the ski tracks were not the best. Combined with gray weather we therefore settled for a roundtrip around Auenhaugen before returning to the cabin.
Skiing at Fløyen
- Date:
- 23.12.2023
- Characteristic:
- Cross-country skiing
- Duration:
- 2:52h
- Distance:
- 13.7km
The snow returned just in time for Christmas and combined with excellent weather this resulted in a very nice skiing trip starting from the top of Fløibanen. The skis stayed on all the way to Øyjorden with only the occasional rock sticking out of the snow for the last part of the descent down to Munkebotsvatnet.
Skiing at Fløyen
- Date:
- 04.12.2023
- Characteristic:
- Cross-country skiing
- Duration:
- 3:07h
- Distance:
- 15.4km
Almost a year ago, I wrote that skiing at Fløyen in December is quite uncommon . However, I may have to take that back, as now, less than a year later, I was back skiing at Fløyen, and even earlier than last year. The conditions were reasonably good and except for the final descent down to Storediket (where I hit a couple of rocks sticking out of the snow) and the last part of the descent down to the start of the climb up to Storevatnet (where I most likely could have skied but did not risk it), the skis stayed on until reaching Smådiket (the small dam below Storevatnet). Here the gravel road started showing up underneath the snow and the skis had to be carried the rest of the way home to Lønborg.
Skiing: Mjølfjell to Skiple
- Date:
- 20.05.2023
- Characteristic:
- Backcountry skiing
- Duration:
- 10:12h
- Distance:
- 33.3km
After last weekend's successful skiing trip to Øykjafonn and Skipanuten I decided to have another go, but this time on my own and starting from Mjølfjell. I again took the early morning train from Bergen and arrived at Mjølfjell train station just before nine. From the station I followed the gravel road north into Rjonaddalen, where I carried the skis for the first 2 km, before putting them on a continuing beside the road where there was just enough snow left. I soon left the road for a shortcut to reconnect with the road up to Grodjuvet. This road normally continues all the way to the bridge across Grodjyvo , but today the road was soon hidden underneath the snow. By then it was too late to cross the partially open river and I instead continued north until I could safely cross via the mentioned bridge and start the ascent to Grodjuvenuten . After passing on the northern side of Skyttargluggane, all that remained >>>
