Comments:
I did this trip with my friend Jostein. The weather was ok, however the
skiing conditions were miserable. It had been warm 5-8 Centigrade for almost
a week, the snow was melting fast. Outside of tracks one would just fall
through in wet snow. The tracks were pure ice and hard to ski on.
We left the car around 1115 and skied cross the lake, blue ice with some
water. Making track up the small valley was hard work. The summit area was
almost free of snow. Arriving at 1215,
the trip up was about one hour.
Pretty nice views, we stayed for
about 15 minutes, then returned the same way.
