Lillehammer next week
We are off to Lillehammer on Saturday. I'm wondering whether it is
worth taking my metal-edged skis with 3 pin bindings. I'd like to get up on the mountain trails if possible. Skis with edges and a bit of side-cut might be useful but last time I was in Norway I found the bindings scraped the side of the tracks. This was annoying especially as the tracks were only just too narrow and we weren't the only ones using that kind of binding. Anyway I shall hire skis for the lowland tracks but are the mountain trails cut differently? (Last year we visited in January and the mountain trails weren't open) Any other suggestions about what to take or do? andyb |

Besides, there are _no_ mountains in the Lillehammer area anyway. :-)
Yes, I realised that when I had a closer look at the map! All my skis have 3 pin bindings so I think I'll leave them at home. Thanks andyb |

I don't recall seeing anything around Lillehammer that would require
backcountry gear. Even the highest trails we skiied above the Birkebeiner trail were machine groomed. Randy |
