Overall impression
Snow condition
It's coming along well now. Also rideable in the deepest valleys (600m). A good 30-40cm there. At 1200m approx. 1m of snow, if not blown off. Then it continues to climb, but of course the wind also has an influence. So there are bottomless drifts next to zero snow in ridge/summit locations.
Snow quality
Very good. Cold and fluffy. But also a lot of drift snow.
Risks
Tense. Today there was massive snowfall all day. According to the Boen measuring station, it was around 50kmh, with a base wind of 20-30kmh. We climbed the same ridge 3 times within 3 hours. Depending on the exposure, our tracks were knee-deep again after an hour...
Overall impression
Very beautiful. Pure winter feeling. It cleared up briefly for an hour, otherwise snow, wind, winter. After a week away from home, we saw how great it can be here too...
