Rough cut Season 12/13 start to end Recap GoPro edit

Here is a rough cutted season 12/13 GoPro edit i made quicly yesterday. It's not the best of editing quality, but it at least shows a little skiing from last season. It's edited from start of season to end, so you can see a little how the skiing was troughout the season. The photo at the end is taken by Sverre Hjørnevik (www.sverrehjornevik.com) a couple of years ago in Myrkdalen, Voss.

Really looking forward to the upcoming season! I'm writing my bachelors degree this winter, so I hope I have a lot of time to go skiing as well. Alredy tried to start the season on Tuesday on Sognefjellet with Gaute Ringstad Holte, but we got some shitty weather and had to turn around. At least we got to walk a couple of hours with our skis on. oping on better luck next time I go skiing.

Stormsystem "Berit" finally starts our winter!

Thank's to the stormsystem called "berit" that have been pounding the coast of Norway the last days, we are finally getting snow. Down by the coast it's raining seriously hard, but that only means that we are getting loads of snow in the mountains. And hopefully, because of warm weather, we will get a really good and solid base for more snow the fall on if the temperature now gets colder. Haven't got the chance to ski the fresh snow yet, besause of two upcoming exams. I will hopefully get the chance to ski the fresh snow in a few days when one exam is down and some friends are arriving to enjoy the first real snow this season.

Had my first rando-trip on the 16. with some friends up to Steindalsnosi on Sognefjellet. We woke up early to a really nice bluebird day and started driving. With almost no snow in the mountains at that time the almost only option was the Fannaråk glacier. We had to walk on our feet for 1-1,5 hour in to the glacier, and since the glacier had a hardpack of snow most of us decided to keep on walking on our feet.

The last part up to the top where it is steep we put on our crampons and got ourselfs up the last part. It was a bit windy on the top, but we still had a beautiful view of Jotunheimen National Park with all it's mountains. We geared up and put on our ski's. Some decided to walk on ther feet the first steep part, so only me and Eirik skied the exposed top. It was not the best conditions, really hardpack. The good thing is that then you at least know what to expect. We skied down half of the run, and waited for the others. Then we skied the last part of the glacier. We got a really nice suprise on the first part of the flatter part og the glacier, it was actually 5 cm of really nice snow ontop of the hardpack and suprisingly nice skiing. Everyone was happy and we started on the flat part back to the car.

On the top gearing up

Yesterday it started snowing up in Sogndalsdalen and we tok a little trip up in Frudalen on our feet to check out the conditions. About 30 cm of snow on the parkinglot. 10 min of walking and it was already 10 cm more of snow. And it was still dumping. Have a few pictures taken with my mobilphone, so bad quality. We also built a snowgirl, "Frudalshufsa", playing around in the snow.

Not easy to capture the mood with a mobilephone, but it was really nice!

My car at the parkinglot we made with our feet and two boxlids.

Hopefully I can post some skiing pictures and video soon! Just have to get an exam our two out of the way first.

Have fun in the snow that's finally here everyone!!
