We had never been up Stortinden before, and although the top has good views and easy skiing, the start and end are a bit messy through low trees and big rocks. We also left it a bit late in the day and an icy crust had already formed on the spring snow, making skiing a bit harder for us. But it was a good afternoon trip nevertheless.
