On this fine Wednesday afternoon, Terje Øvrebø and me went to Ørsta to ski Saudehornet. We headed out from the Saudehornet trailhead (approx. 140 meters) 4:40pm and could put the skis on at approx. 340 meters. As I'm not too friendly with steep snow slopes, Saudehornet looked a bit intimidating. But one has to try, and whatever doesn't kill me will allegedly make me stronger...

On our way up the mountain, Terje struggled more and more with an aching hip and we decided to aim for Vallahornet instead. We reached the top 6pm and could look forward to at least 500 vertical meters with fine skiing. Well worth the drive and the ascent. And Saudehornet isn't going anywhere, so I still have a good chance of one day skiing down this fine mountain...

After we had left the mountain, a couple of skiers released an avalanche on Saudehornet. No one were injured, but in good style, they reported this avalanche to the police...
