Full Moon Wandering on Fjellski: 6th – 8th January
####################################################
Difficulty: 3 out of 4
####################################################
Trip Leader: Andrew
####################################################
Description:
This weekend serves up the first full moon of the year, and thus a chance of experiencing one of the most magical delights that the winter mountains have to offer – skiing at night. If the skies are clear and weather conditions are in our favour, then we’ll take the train to Upsete on Friday evening and ski to the DNT cabin Kaldavasshytta by moonlight.
We’ll use the daytime on Saturday to sleep and recuperate. On Saturday evening we’ll eat dinner together and then head out into the night once more, navigating to Hallingskeid via Vossaskavlen, from where we can take the first train back to Bergen on Sunday.
If weather conditions turn out not to be conducive to night-skiing this weekend, then the trip will go ahead as a plain-old diurnal ski trip. This trip requires that you have prior experience on fjellski and you must be comfortable skiing at night. You also need to be comfortable skiing downhill on fjellski, since the gradient approaches 27 degrees in places.

Food:
We’ll make dinner together at the cabin on Friday and Saturday evening. We can discuss meal preferences at the trip meeting. You’ll need to bring your own breakfast and lunch for Saturday and Sunday, in addition to snacks.
