At around three in the afternoon I finally managed to leave the home office to enjoy the tail end of yet another beautiful winter day in Bergen. Started by carrying the skis up to the top of Øyjorden and then skied to the start of the gravel road up from Munkebotsvatnet. Here I carried the skis up to Grindarasten , from where the skis stayed on until returning to Øyjorden almost three hours later. From Brushytten I also made a quick visit to Blåmansveien utsiktspunkt for some spectacular views before starting the descent. The head lamp was not required until passing by Storediket.

The first skiing trip of 2021! After getting all of the meetings out of the way before lunch, I took the rest of the day off to enjoy the excellent winter weather. Decided on an unusual ascent route based on carrying the skis from Munkebotn via Skredderdalen. Worked out ok, but there are clearly easier options. The skis came on at the top of Skredderdalen and stayed on until arriving at the top of Øyjorden.

With all meetings suddenly cancelled due to the Coronavirus, I decided to instead make use of the perfect weather for a skiing trip in Steinskvanndalen, an area I had previously only visited in the summer. We parked at Løkjentunet, paid the 100 kr fee via Vipps, and from there walked a short stretch along the main road to Kvernavollen. After some initial struggles, we finally connected with the marked ski trail to Steinskvanndalen and could enjoy freshly laid ski tracks. We continued north to Øvre Kvanndalsvatnet (the last stretch without any tracks), before turning back and reconnecting with the marked ski trail, which we then followed for a roundtrip, finally taking us back to the main road. Again, we struggled to find the best route towards the main road, first making a detour in the wrong >>>

Given the excellent winter weather, which potentially would only last for one day, I decided to take the day off and go skiing at Fløyen. More snow than expected, and I could keep the skis on all the way to the top of Øyjorden (although for the stretch along Langevatnet there were some sections with almost no snow). The GPS decided to take a break in between Storediket and Munkebotsvatnet, i.e. I did not take the "shortcut" indicated on the map. :)

With several reports indicating good skiing conditions at Fløyen it was finally time for my first skiing trip of 2020! I was unsure if I had made the right choice when it started raining when on the bus to Fløibanen though, but thankfully the rain turned to snow before Fløibanen reached its final destination. Decided to carry the skis up to just south of Regnhytten , and from there they stayed on until just below the small dam north of Storevatnet.

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. >>>

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.

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 >>>
