Winter holiday

Weather today at 10.12:

Minus 10 degrees and snow!

This week is the Danish winter holiday and quite a few have found the way to Hemsedal!

Last weekend was cold with temperatures down to minus 25. The funny thing is that although it was cold in the valley, it was a lot warmer higher up, between minus 10 and 13, and that is absolutely bearable.

The weather forecast last Sunday looked grim, showing temperatures down to minus 31! But it was all wrong:) Instead we have had agreeable minus 10 and it has snowed a bit of light powder every day! So I think and hope that our Danish guests are happy with the conditions.

This weekend the winner of “Pimp your Campingwagon” will show its wagon at Hemsedal Skisenter, outside Hemsedal Alpin Lodge. There will be free coke and hotdogs and demo of Flow Snowboards.

Snow!

Weather today, 11.00:

Town centre, 650 masl: -0,7, sun and light clouds, 5m/s
Top station of Hemsedal Skisenter, 1100 masl: – 4,6, sun and light clouds, 6 m/s

It finally came some snow last nigth!!! We have been waiting for this for a couple of weeks or so. The ski condtions are now great, both downhill and cross country!

This weekend there will be a downhill qualification competition for the international children’s ski race in Slovenia later this season.

There will also be an event; “Didriks Speedflying & Freeride Festival” in slope nr 17. Speedflying is skiing with a parachute, so you are actually skiing in the air, a little bit over the ground. Might be fun to watch

The weather forecast also looks good, have a look at yr.no :)

Last week was atumn holiday for East Norway and it was quite busy with many guests.

From Friday until Wednesday it rained heavily, the river was really big and flooded over some places. But on Thursday the sun finally came through and the rest of the week was beautiful.

It is already dark before 8 pm now and it is pretty cold during the nigths. This morning it was -3..

Hopefully the ski centre can produce some snow soon. The opening date is set to November 5th, only 3,5 weeks away
