We had a mixed trip due to awful weather. The plan had been to dig a snowhole or camp not too far from Finse & use that as a base for some day trips.
We arrived on the Friday & booked into the Finse 1222 & spent the afternoon recce'ing for a suitable spot to snowhole south of the lake. We set off Saturday morning to the chosen location in worsening weather, finding the place with GPS.  We don't carry probes & it turned out our spot wasn't suitable. As a result we bailed out back to the Finse1222 rather than digging in with the tent or searching for another snowbank (it was by now virtually impossible to make out snowbanks!) & had another night of luxury (the DNT hut didn't open until the next day).
We set off on the Sunday afternoon back to a spot we've used on a previous trip & dug a nice big snowhole. Monday & Tuesday were spent on day tours in the area, both cut short due to the weather. The temps were hovering just above zero so it was pretty miserable. We bailed out of the snowhole after one night as it was getting a bit drippy in the warm temps. We kept some gear in there to leave more room in the tent.  Just as well we moved into the tent as Mon & Tues the snowhole entrance filled up by about 3 feet of its length with spindrift - easy enough to dig out from the outside but it would have been a pain from the inside!
By Wednesday we'd had enough of the winds & wet weather & got the train to Geilo & ended up the only tent on the campsite in town. We hired some downhill skis & boots & spent the next 3 days piste skiing. In comparison to Finse the weather was great - sunny & a lot colder.
So it didn't go to plan but we made the best of it!
