Up, yet down
About the best summer ever in the mountains, doing a ton of work on the cabin, and how I still managed to mess things up so that I’ll have to limit rentals again in 2025/26.(The seas) -
Why the cabin is not available for rent
I have more or less removed the cabin from both Airbnb and iNatur for 2025. The reason is simple: in the winter of 2024, I discovered several instances of damage to the roof, and Storebrand Insurance has (once again) failed to act in time to repair the damage. This means I don’t know when the repairs will be done, but it will likely happen either in June 2025 or August/September 2025. You can still rent it, but with the caveat that you might suddenly have to get your money back…

☀️ Can you imagine how wonderful spring is in the mountains?
May 8, 2020 The very best time for skiing in the mountains is in the spring. Apparently, no one seems to realize this, because after Easter, no one comes until the end of June. It’s in May that you can enjoy a well-deserved ice-cold beer on the terrace in the afternoon sun after having been slowly roasted in the rotisserie that is a snow-covered spring mountain. The snow bridges over the stream usually start to melt a little after May 17th, but it’s usually possible to ski until early June.

The Boat Hunt
An unfortunate renter forgot to secure the boat properly, and both the boat and the oars disappeared when the water level rose due to the heavy rains at the end of August. I had to go out, and after a couple of hours of searching, I found the boat at the north end of the lake. I was lucky enough that Erling Lüder-Larsen at Holmevassetra had found and pulled the boat ashore. I found one oar in Sætervika, but the other seems to have disappeared down the Åselva river system. All in all, this turned out very well, even though the boat isn’t getting any prettier with all these mishaps. Luckily, I bought it knowing it might take a bit of a beating :)

We're (also) on iNatur!
Inatur.nois a Norwegian government-owned website for renting hunting grounds, fishing rights, cabins, and more. I finally got around to listing my cabin there at the end of March, and even though the platform is less polished than Airbnb, it definitely left me wanting more:

Avalanche Course with Svalbard Guides
We have now entered into a partnership with Svalbardguidene, which means that they will be using the cabin forAvalanche course in the Norefjell area! The pilot weekend will take place January 27–29, 2021. It will be very exciting to see how this turns out, because I’ve long thought that the cabin is perfect for people who enjoy hiking in the wilderness and want to start their hikes out on the open plains.

Unfortunately, the new Cinderella restroom was vandalized yesterday :-( It's a little unclear exactly what happened, but here's roughly how it went down:
