Shame the snow is so churned up......
I noticed this too. Assu the sign. The background said “20’ drifts. Ski at your own risk.

Told my wife that I will not leave the slopes….🫣!

Conditions are far away from glorious, but extreme enjoyable! … And yes, I am breathing like an old race horse .

Transportation in the old days.

Valluga II build in 1956, hitting the top of the mountain at 2811m. Actual pic and still in use!

Crossoverpoints with unbelievable transport rates nowadays ;-)!

@Aetas great pics. We are at 100 year storm levels here. Lull between the dumps. My son couldn’t wipe off the grin.

@Sage954
What a smile!
Doesn’t look like the end of the season…

[Aetas]

Thanks @SeruRitchi for strolling along!!

@Aetas Thanks for the pictures. After the privilege of being able to ski every year from 2006 to 2017, I haven't been for the last six years and I'm really missing it.

Currently landed back in Norway for my next work assignment. I am heading to the slopes of Roldal later this week as a "team-building exercise", before anyone says it, I am fully aware that this is a real first world hardship. I am just incredibly pleased to be back working in Norge again.

I will post up some shots from Roldal.

In Ötztal, Austria for our annual skiing week

It was a good couple of days in Røldal ski centre on a teambuilding session as part of a new job.

Conditions were good. I have been to Røldal before in terrible complete white out conditions and had to navigate down the side of the piste via the piste pole markers.

Managed to traverse over to the more interesting (steeper) slopes at the edge of the area. A 5 miniute traverse and a short boot up the ridge to get access to the steeper stuff (lookers right on the photo).

Did have to endure a team sledge race at the end of the day. Was stone cold last having lost control on a corner and lost the kids toy off the edge of the run into some deep snow and trees, took me 10mins to find the damn thing.

About 50cm of fresh snow overnight

[Aetas]

Looks beautiful!
Are you in Vent @Twistlock ?

[Twistlock]

Yes we are, well spotted @Aetas ! Come here since 2011.

[Aetas]

Enjoy your stay @Twistlock !
What do you think, is it enough snow till eastern?

[Twistlock]

Right now it's 120cm on the mountain, so could be ok til easter. Are you going here as well @Aetas ?
