Lots of new snow on Monday & Tuesday meant I was looking forward to heading out when the clouds cleared on Wednesday afternoon. We parked just before the bend in the road at Vågbotn and headed up towards Styrmmanstinden. Fresh snow and no other tracks made for hard trail breaking work, and there was a lot more wind than forecasted. We gained elevation effectively, but it was tough on the legs making kick turn tracks through the steeper section. From the skare we got great views towards Hollendaren/Zapfetoppen and headed up the final section before the top. Parked the skiis around 50m from the top and walked the rest. Great views as always, but still freezing cold. Is summer coming soon?! Excellent skiing all the way down to the car, loose powder in the top few hundred meters and deep, soft, wind transported snow the rest of the way down.

GPS track also includes the drive home and a stop at Eidehandel for fish cakes so I didn´t upload it this time. Takk for turen Magnus, Bendik & Jon Martin :)
