Sandbakken Sportsstue has been without power following severe weather and flooding in the Østmarka National Park area. The weather conditions included strong winds that reached up to 26 meters per second, resulting in fallen trees and significant property damage across the region. Thousands of customers have lost electricity, impacting local businesses and facilities, including Sandbakken, which has reported an outage since Thursday evening.

Despite the challenges presented by the storm, the Norwegian Ski Federation has recommended ski spots in Nordmarka and Sørkedalen, ensuring that ski enthusiasts can still enjoy winter sports over the weekend. The Holmenkollen 50 km race will proceed as planned since the snow conditions have been maintained with artificial snow, allowing organizers to move forward with skiing events despite the wet weather.

This severe weather event underscores the vulnerability of the region to storms and the challenges faced by local businesses during inclement weather. Sandbakken Sportsstue's situation reflects the broader impact of the storm on the community, emphasizing the need for resilience in local infrastructure and planning for future weather-related challenges.
