Store and Vetle Haugmelen

Datum:
20.04.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
7:01h
Entfernung:
23,9km

I was dropped off just before the locked gate at Dalåker and continued on foot along the gravel road. No snow at all until after the parking lot at Goro, and then only in shorter stretches consisting of more wet soft ice than snow. I did however put on the skis for a short time before reaching the trailhead for Store Haugmelen , but there the skis had to come off again as the start of the trail was completely void of snow. Soon there would be snow mixed in with the wet dirt, but it would take several hundred meters until I could finally put the skis back on for good, with only a couple of short stretches where walking was required. Given the low amounts of snow, I decided to follow the summer route via Vassløysa instead of the longer ascent via the ridge from the south. This was also where all the old tracks were leading. >>>

Tourlänge:
4:36h
Entfernung:

We started by following the marked skiing trail from Rindabotn to south of Fjærlandssetvatnet (with a minor shortcut up to Kollsetevatnet). From there we more or less followed the summer trail towards the summit, with some adjustments along the way. After enjoying the excellent views we returned to the marked trail and passed over Høgehaug on the way back down to Rindabotn.

We followed the marked trail from Rindabotn before taking a shortcut to the cabins east of Helleberget . While the rest of my party enjoyed a longer lunch I made a quick visit to Helleberget on my own before joining them for the descent back down to Rindabotn.

Synnevaskjer from Rindabotn

Datum:
15.04.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
5:06h
Entfernung:
22,2km

I followed the marked ski trail to Høgehaug but turned north just before reaching the summit, passing by the Red Cross cabin Britabu next to Britasteinen, from where I started the real ascent to Synnevaskjer . There were a couple of old tracks in the snow that I could follow, but when the these split I chose the wrong tracks and ended up with a minor detour before finally heading around Vetla Trastadalsvatnet on the northern side as planned. Upon entering the narrow valley of Trastadalen I was a bit concerned about the overhanging snow on the western side of the valley, but thankfully there was much less snow on the eastern side and I thus made it to Store Trastadalsvatnet without any issues. But clearly a spot to watch out for if visiting under more challenging conditions! With the most uncertain section of the route out >>>

Dyrhovden

Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
3:50h
Entfernung:
14,1km

Started on the marked trail from Rindabotn but soon took a shortcut up to Skavasshaugane before reconnecting with the trail until reaching the cabins south of Reppanipa . From there we more or less followed the ridge towards Dyrhovden . The trig marker east of the summit had fallen down and the remains were only partly visible from the south. After a quick lunch at the summit we followed the same route back down to Rindabotn.

Kvitanosi from Gullbrå

Datum:
10.03.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
4:25h
Entfernung:
15,2km

Ever since the earlier attempt to reach Kvitanosi was abandoned only 500 meters from the summit , I had been waiting for another opportunity. And with a near perfect weather forecast for skiing, I managed to convince a colleague of mine to join. Also this time the trip started from Gullbrå, but the light rain, wind and dense fog from the last visit was today replaced by blue skis and next to no wind. Quite cold when leaving Gullbrå (-11 degrees), but we quickly got warm when starting the steep climb and leaving the shade behind. We were clearly not alone in thinking that this day was a good day for skiing to Kvitanosi , as there were fresh tracks by several skiers that we could follow on our way up the mountain, and with 10-15 centimeters of new snow, we were more than happy to follow in their tracks instead of having to make our own. After the initial >>>

Fuglafjellet from Hamlagrøvatnet

Datum:
24.02.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
9:16h
Entfernung:
27,8km

We parked at the small parking lot east of Vesletjørni and from there followed the marked trail towards Vending . Not the best skiing conditions, icy and with lots of areas already running low on snow, and with next to no wind and the sun peeking through the clouds it felt more like Easter than the late February the calendar was indicating. After passing east of Vending, we skied down to the small cabin in Fugladalen, where we had a quick lunch before starting the climb up to Fossavatnet. From Fossavatnet we followed the river up to Øvre Fugladalsvatnet, thus avoiding the steepest sections at the bottom of the valley up from Fossavatnet. Note that one should be careful with regards to the snow conditions when heading up this relatively narrow gorge. Very low risk for avalanches this Sunday though, >>>

Kvitanosi (almost...) from Gullbrå

Datum:
17.02.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
6:21h
Entfernung:
14,7km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association which started by carpooling to Gullbrå. Light rain at the start of the trip and increasing winds as we made our way up towards Kvitanosi . Sadly, part of the group made much slower progress than expected and with just around 500 meters to the summit (and less than 100 vertical meters to climb), it was decided that we would have to start our descent in order to make it down before it got dark. By then the conditions had also gotten worse, with very limited visibility due to a rather dense fog. Splitting the group was therefore not really an option. Hence my main goal of the day had to be abandoned. But in the end it probably turned out to be the right choice, as it started to get dark before the last member of our group made it back down to the parking lot. The weather did however >>>

Across Vidden from Fløyen to Grøvlevatnet

Datum:
02.02.2019
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
22,2km

Started from the upper station of Fløibanen and from there followed the usual skiing route to Rundemanen . Although there had been some new snow since my last visit, there actually seemed to be even less snow at Rundemanen, and the skis had to come off to reach the summit. I did manage to ski down Hyttelien and up to Øvre Jordalsvatnet, but also here there seemed to be even less snow than one week earlier. From Øvre Jordalsvatnet I followed the skiing route up the valley to east of the main trail across Vidden. A bit more snow here, but a lot more was needed here as well. Upon reaching the plateau, the conditions were overall ok, but also here mixed with shorter sections with either very little snow or with more ice than snow. (The latter was in particular the case for the area around Hauggjelsvarden .) After first >>>
