Røddalshorn (563m), Jan 4 2011
The first of many nice ski-trips up
to Røddalshorn from Leikongeidet. The view towards Ørsta and Volda is excellent from up here.

Garnestua (653m), Jan 5 2011
A nice evening ski-trip from
Løsetvatnet with my
colleague Terje Øvrebø. It was quite windy > 600 meters, otherwise OK. The
skiing conditions could have been better...

Løkeberget (579m), Jan 10 2011
Evening ski-trip from Løsetvatnet.
The snow was terrible (hard crust), but the sky was beautiful!

Leinehornet (366m), Jan 11 2011
Evening hike from Leine. I really
should have brought snow shoes on this hike. I went up the normal route from
Leinestøylen and descended the ridge towards Volsund.

Laupsnipa (558m), Jan 12 2011
Evening ski-trip from from Voldsund.
Due to ice, I had to actively search for a route that provided shelter (from
falling into the fjord). Laupsnipa's east ridge is among my very favorites. It's
just an awesome route!

Stedjeåsen (624m), Jan 14 2011
Definitely one of the most enjoyable
ski-trips I've ever done. After a massive snow fall, I convinced Anne that a
ski-trip to Stedjeåsen (rising out of Sogndal) would be a fun project (very few
people ski this mountain). We followed a well-worn track to the top and enjoyed
an off-piste paradise on the way down.

Garneshornet (454m), Jan 17 2011
Garneshornet is a small top below
Garnestua. I did this hike in fog (>300m) and pouring rain and followed a path
that very few people know..

Road views, Jan 18 2011
I was on my way to Sandvikhornet,
but got discouraged by massive hail showers. It's not often I cancel a hike
because of bad weather, but I can live with this one. Upon driving back home,
the shower passed, but I wasn't in the mood to return to the trailhead...

Røddalshorn (563m), Feb 8 2011
I will never forget this ski-trip
from Leikongeidet. After a recent snow fall, the snow was just perfect. I
enjoyed the descent to the absolutely fullest, and seriously considered going
back up again. Assuming that the conditions were the same the next day (and they
were), I didn't...

Røddalshorn (563m), Feb 16 2011
The snow on Leikongeidet remained
superb for more than a week, and I skied Røddalshorn in the evening 6 times in
the period Feb 8 - 17.
