Venabu

What to do when you have given yourself a premature X-mas present: a tent capable of handling winter conditions?...Right, find some serious winter conditions.
One of our favorite areas in Norway is Rondane, and in particular a place called Venabu. You always get a warm welcome from Lars and Haldis at Venabu høyfjell hotell!
So after saturday on the tracks, we found a perfect spot for a night in the snow. Would say our new gear passed the test ( it damn well should, this is the same tent as used on Antarctica)
Today was truly the cherry on the cake with a tour around Veslefjellet: no tracks cut, just us and masses of fresh powder snow. The silence is enourmous, the views breathtaking. The only sound that broke the silence was the incidental snow drop into the Dørfallet crevasse.

Whish I could be there longer, a lot longer...

Cheers, from Oslo (back again)
