The slope preparation is very good.
Tip: By new snow, an optimal slope prepartion is not always possible, even with a large effort. In addition, the new snow can not combine with the snow lying underneath and moguls are created quickly. For safety reasons, usually no slope preparation is possible during operating times.

Conclusion

Detailed description of the ski resort
From the Trysil Turistsenter the two high speed six person chairs, Fjellekspressen and the new Liekspressen, are starting. You can ski very nice and easy runs through the forest back to the village. From the top station of these two lifts you can ski down to Skihytta and take the parallel t-bars and the St. Olav t-bar up to the highest point of the ski resort, 1100m. The last meters up the Trysilfjellet, 1132m are no lifts, but you can hike up the top. From the higest lifted point you can reach every point in the ski resort. Now you can ski down to Trysilfjell Hoyfjellssenter via intermediate and in the lower part easy runs. A douzen t-bars serving easy slopes.
To return towards Trysilfjellet, use the t-bar Familietrekket or Stormyra, and after a short run you reach the t-bar Toppen, bringing you back to the top. From this point you’re able to choose the direction you want, because you can reach all other lifts from here. Very recommendable are the advanced runs at the double chair Svart´n or down to Hogegga, where a detachable six person chair lifts you up again. If you are at the Trysilfjell Turistsenter you can take the quad Knetta and run down an advanced slope back to the valley. From its top station you can either ski to the six person chair from Hogegga or, with using a t-bar, run down towards Trysilfjellet.
Nice bars and restaurants welcome you in Trysilfjellet Turistcenter, where you can enjoy a beer after skiing.
