Remko

A sunny day 6°C with clear sky and no rain, it was pretty windy but nothing out of the ordinary. CopenHill a recycling center in copenhagen, where the roof is basically a ski piste of sorts. It's located in industrial area but also close to the sea. At the top it had nice view over copenhagen and also the bridge to Malmø and also Sweden on a good clear day.

-5 degrees celcius with no wind and clear blue sky. Making it feel very warm in the sun and very pleasant. Had quite a few layers on either way as we had to stand still for most of the time. Since this was part of a surface energy balance excursion, where we did some test with snow and lake ice, which was quite interesting. Then afterwards went on a walk around the lake on the ice and went back home after that.

-8 degrees celcius with no clouds in the sky and plenty of sun. A little bit of wind at the top of Vettakollen but barely anything. Quite a bit of snow in the forest, but mainly old snow and ice like. Surprisingly quiet but still a few people on the trails, especially around Sognsvann it was busy.

-9 degrees celcius, no wind, no snow fall, layer of snow and some ice, Sognsvann frozen over and some sunshine at the end of the hike. A nice hike with a lot of talks with Jonathan about various topics. Brought our own lunch for when arriving at ullevålseter and apparently they were also playing some kind of movie about cross country skiing with sound effects in realtime. Also there were a lot of skiers out and about but thankfully we mostly had hiking/mountain bike trails.

A little evening hike with flatmates around sognsvann and back.

-5 degrees celcius, barely any wind, freshly fallen snow and also snowed during the hike. Around sognsvann there was less snow but the further into the forest the more snow there was. A lot of people doing cross country skiing and had to watch out here and there. Also went around more walking/mountain biking trails which was really nice. Beautiful surroundings with snow covered trees and good visibility. We also played with the snow on the trees, trying to dump it on each other, which was quite fun. At the cabin we enjoyed wafels and warm apple cider, it was really cozy.

-12 degrees celcius, little wind to no wind, sun setting and hiking back in dark. This hike/walk was only a little one but we made a campfire and stayed near the bat cave for a while. Enjoying sausages and other things with good conversation to go along with it. We brought two sacks of wood from Kiwi only finishing about 1.5 sack for about 4.5 hours.

-3 degrees Celsius with little snow at the start of the hike and halfway up there was only snow and ice generally. There was also some wind further up, which was pretty chilly. Recommended to bring ice spikes, as it is pretty slippery here and there. Plenty of sun which was nice. Had a beautiful view of Lago di Garda and also surrounding mountains like Corno Miller e Cima Adamello, Care' Alto, Cima Presanella, Cima Valdritta, Cima Palon, Cima d'Asta. It was very busy at the Rifugio so we continued to the top of Monte Stivo.

-4 degrees Celsius, barely any snow, plenty of sun, a bit of wind on top of monte zovo. Hike was not the nicest as there was a lot of deforestation all the way up to the Rifugio De Dòo. There was some nice views of surrounding snowy mountains. Didn't have food at rifugio but rather at restaurant down in Costa, and it was really tasty (Costicine B.b.q Con Patate E Verdure and semifreddo agli arachidi)

5 degrees Celsius, no wind, plenty of sun, barely any snow but slippery on path. Pretty doable hike in terms of accent but muddy made it harder. Had a very nice panoramic view of all the surrounding Mountains. Including Monte Antelao, Marmolada and Mamorole mountain range among many others. Also saw a wood pecker during the hike wnd at the top of monte Rite, saw a lot of Yellow-billed Choughs.
