Ski-o, snow and wind at Venabygdsfjellet

Last weekend the first Norwegian cup and WC selection races were held at Venbygdsfjellet. Unfortunatley we missed this competitions, but as the weather forcast reported no snow after the competitions we decided to train there this weekend.

However, the weather in the mountains made it challenging. Despite only a small snowfall the days after the competitions, the wind some places filled the tracks with snow. In the forest the tracks were easy to find and ski, but in the open areas it was sometimes hard to find the tracks, and we had to ski in the terrain were we thougt the tracks might have been. Despite the conditions we had a good ski-o intervall training, 6 forked ski-o intervalls of 7-10 min. See map below.

Heavy snowfall saturday night, made the tracks impossible to find and sunday we decided to skip the map and went for a classic training. It is a beautyfull area for skiing.
