Skiing at Fløyen
Almost a year ago, I wrote that skiing at Fløyen in December is quite uncommon. However, I may have to take that back, as now, less than a year later, I was back skiing at Fløyen, and even earlier than last year. The conditions were reasonably good and except for the final descent down to Storediket (where I hit a couple of rocks sticking out of the snow) and the last part of the descent down to the start of the climb up to Storevatnet (where I most likely could have skied but did not risk it), the skis stayed on until reaching Smådiket (the small dam below Storevatnet). Here the gravel road started showing up underneath the snow and the skis had to be carried the rest of the way home to Lønborg.
