Saturday: Back in Sogndal with beautiful weather. The only downside was that I wasn’t feeling in shape. I was dead meat. I had to take a nap after breakfast, and just by that, I knew there was something off.
But it would be really bad to spend a day like this in the bed and I definitely feel worse doing so, than going for a trip. So, we went for a trip…
We drove up to Hodlekve/Rindabotn (skiing centre) to ski Helleberget. That would be a fairly short and easy ski-trip!
The snow outside the track was a little bit of everything. In some places, the snow carried Karma’s weight. In other places, it most certainly didn’t…
After a while, Karma figured out where she could go and not go…
In not too long, we left the track and sat course for Helleberget. It was no nice to be out. I was feeling better already.
Actually, everyone was feeling just fine…
We agreed to curve around the mountain and ascend from the south.
I already started thinking about including Reppenipa on this trip, but I came to my senses and decided to be happy about getting to Helleberget.
There were surprisingly few skiers to see! Well, maybe it wasn’t surprising at all. On a day like this, people will seek towards the traditional mountains.
Soon after, we reached the top!
Now what? It felt a bit too soon to just return…
The proposal was obvious – continue to Høgehaug and return via the track. And so we did…
I really, really considered proposing the Fjærlandssete loop, although there was no track. But, I had a feeling that Anne would be satisfied with the trip as it was. I had to take into consideration that she does a lot of skiing as part of her work. Her work!!!
All in all, I was happy with the trip as it was. I was clearly not 100% and why risk getting worse when I had a much bigger plan for the following day…
Then we arrived on Høgehaug!
Oh, the views…
We decided to stick to the extended plan and returned to Hodlekve via the track. Big fun on mountain skis!
Back at Rindabotn/Hodlekve – waffles!
Trip statistics: 11,9km, 540 vertical meters, 2h:36m
