In a bizarre incident in Østmarka, Oslo, a bus mistakenly drove into the ski trails, catching skiers off guard during the winter holiday. The bus driver, an elderly man, was attempting to navigate near the ski trail to pick up school children but ended up driving several hundred meters into the skiing area. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, and the schoolchildren had to complete their journey on foot after getting off the bus.

Aage Ringdal, one of the skiers who encountered the bus, expressed his astonishment, noting that he had seen many unusual things in his skiing experiences, but never a bus on a ski path. He humorously speculated whether there had been a new grooming machine introduced for the trails, highlighting the unexpected nature of the event. Such incidents raise questions about the signage and navigation systems in place for both drivers and skiers in recreational areas.

This incident may prompt local authorities to review protocols for vehicle access to ski trails, as safety measures are crucial for ensuring the well-being of outdoor enthusiasts. While the situation was resolved without any injuries, it serves as a reminder of the potential hazards that can arise when vehicles inadvertently encroach on recreational spaces.
