© Harald Barsnes My plan had been to take Fløibanen and start skiing from the upper station, but upon arriving at Fløibanen there was a bit of a queue, so I decided to walk instead. At the upper station I put on my skis and made one round in "Lysløypen" before heading north for Sandviksfjellet . Getting to the summit of Sandviksfjellet on skis turned out to be harder than expected, as the path is not really made for skiing. The stretch from the summit towards to Sandvikspilen was however slightly better. From Sandvikspilen I tried a shortcut through the woods to reconnect with the gravel road. This turned out to be a mistake (too many trees and not enough snow), so not really a shortcut in the end. Finally, the trip was concluded by skiing down the snow-covered gravel road and taking Hellemyrstien to Lønborg.

© Harald Barsnes Short skiing trip from Kikut to Ruperanden . The skiing conditions were poor at the start of the trip, where we had to look out for rocks sticking out of the snow in order to not damage our skis. But as soon as we hit the main skiing trail the conditions improved significantly. The wind started to pick up during the trip though. Tailwind on the way there and an even stronger head-wind on the way back towards Kikut.
