Skiing at Fløyen

The first skiing trip of 2022! After inspecting the weather forecast for the coming weekend it was very clear that if the recent snow at Fløyen was to be enjoyed at all before it would most likely disappear, it would have to be on the Friday. I therefore pushed all my planned work to the rainy weekend and instead headed for Fløyen via the bus to Starefossen (given that Fløibanen was currently getting an upgrade and not operational). The skis came on just below Skomakerdiket and stayed on until just above Munkebotsvatnet. Except for the last stretch, the skiing conditions were close to perfect! Too bad that most of the snow will probably all be gone after the next couple of rainy days...
