Sunday: The great weather continued and today we would definitely go to Sandfjelltuva from Norddalen – which was the plan the day before. Instead, I ended up on Trollkoppehornet with mountain skis. Today, I was bringing my Randonnée skis.
We could have skied directly from the car, but the parking alongside the road was full and we had to find a lower parking. It was in theory possible to drive all the way up to lake Kvanndalsvatnet – ignoring any snow that might be on the road, but I didn’t have the need to find out.
After carrying the skis for a couple of minutes, the ski-trip was on!
On my way up – I stopped to take this picture of Tenna. I had no idea that Karma and I would be hiking this mountain one week later, not touching snow until we hiked from the south tip to the summit point…
Back to the present, it didn’t take long until the celebrations started…
Karma gave me this – “I’m going to check everything out” look. I let her. As long as she respected the perimiter. Which isn’t wide…
It was nice to see Blæjeskardtinden again. We had a mighty nice roundtrip around this horseshoe last year.
We now had Sandfjelltuva in clear view, ahead of us. Some bozos had left a track straight up the mountain. It’s more than 30 degrees in the upper part!
All I wanted was to get UP and enjoy the ride down…
Seeing others, I simply couldn’t wait…
And eventually, we reached the top…
As much as I wanted to get on with the descent, the usual rituals had to be followed. Treats and pictures!
And today I even threw in a selfie…
There was no one around to take a picture of me, going down. Which was OK. I had the best time anyway. And Karma was running like crazy – straight down, with me taking turns around her.
The short uphill down by the meadow was a bit annoying, but this was not a day for complaints.
What a nice skiing weekend. The only “problem” was that the trip felt a bit … short?
Yes it did. So we went for one more trip – a hike this time…
Trip statistics: 6,3km, 620 vertical meters, 1h:48m
