The holiday is underway: - Expecting a large influx
Ski resorts in Norway are experiencing varying visitor numbers during the winter holiday period, with Tryvann seeing an increase while Kirkerudbakken notes a decrease.
As winter break begins in Norway, ski resorts are seeing both advantages and challenges with visitor numbers. Tryvann is experiencing a surge in visitors, particularly noted on Wednesday morning when many skiers took to the slopes, thanks to favorable winter conditions. Espen Bengtson, the daily manager of As Parks, highlights the magical winter scenery that has attracted skiers during this festive week. Local skiers, like Pernille Sofie Ulstein and Stine Marie NΓΈrgΓ₯rd, have been making the most of their time off, with Ulstein skiing daily throughout February
In contrast, Kirkerudbakken ski center in Bærum has observed fewer guests as many resort-goers opt for the mountains instead. Despite the drop in numbers, they express satisfaction with the winter weather improvements compared to previous months, particularly in December. This sentiment among ski resort operators indicates a mixed landscape where some areas thrive while others struggle with visitor numbers during the holiday season.
Overall, the conditions in Tryvann provide a positive highlight amidst fluctuating turnout levels across nearby resorts. While some areas like Kirkerudbakken experience challenges with fewer visitors, the current winter weather may still bring hope for enhanced attendance as the holiday continues into the weekend, with changes in the weather potentially impacting the conditions for skiing.
