Skiing at Fløyen in December!
Skiing at Fløyen in December is quite uncommon as there is usually not enough snow in Bergen at this time of the year (I had not recorded any such trips myself for the last six years). Given that the snow would most likely soon disappear, maybe already during the weekend, I decided to have a go after work on a Friday. The plan was to take Fløibanen from the city center, but I missed it by less than one minute and the next one was not until half an hour later. The trip therefore instead started by walking up to Fløyen with the skis coming on just below Skomakerdiket. Pretty good conditions for skiing overall and I more or less had the tracks to myself. Thanks to the recent new snow, some of it during the trip itself, I could even keep the skis on all the way to the top of Øyjorden.
