February in Trondheim means variable conditions influenced by the nearby Atlantic coast. Temperatures range from -15°C to 3°C. Bymarka's elevation provides more reliable snow than the city center but the maritime influence can bring mild spells and wet snow. When cold, conditions are excellent for classic skiing.
