Still a lot of snow. Mushers ( dog sledges) and cross country skiiers, are gathering during the weekends at Valdresflya. Perfect snow conditions

When you are walking in your new hiking boots is a good idea to use woolsocks with no seams. And go out for shorter trips before setting out on a long trip.

It can also be a good idea to invest in the soles that support the arch feet. A tip is to have some loose laces and then retighten during the hike.

To maintain your hiking boots use spray impregnation for leather or textiles boots.
