Looking West from top of Fortundalsbreen, 4 April 2009
This Easter I skied "hut-to-hut" in Norway from Lake Tyin via Tomashelleren and Lake Bygdin to Gjendesheim, followed by three days with a friend in and above the birch woods East of Gjendesheim (Finnbølesætra to Storholiseter to Skriurusten to Oskampen to Finnbølesætra). I then joined a group skiing from Sota Sæter to Fondsbu over the Fortundalsbreen and Smørstabbrean glaciers via Nørstedalsæter, Krossbu, and Skogaldalsbøen. The weather ranged from still, clear and cold, with perfect snow to match, via downright hot, to too windy for safety, this last resulting in the welcome attention of the Red Cross. The pictures below will give you the flavour.
