Possibly Voss for the skiing bit.

Are you intending to drive or use public transport? Some of the mountain passes get closed in winter due to snow.

Have you considered the Hurtigrouten, which is pricy but would make for an amazing trip, albeit a more coastal one.

I love Oslo. You should think about Bygdoy (Viking ship museum, Fram museum of polar exploration), Vigelandspark and the city centre museums and art galleries. Lots of good cafes and baking to warm up with.

I would have thought you could rent kit, as it's one of Norway's main ski resorts, and has (if I recall correctly) more than one run. That said, I don't think its on the scale of, say, many of the alpine resorts, so unlikely to have a huge choice. I genuinely don't know what would be the best time for decent snowfall, but they are bound to have a website with all this info on tbh.

First one I pulled up on Google..

PS Voss also has a railway station so that would fit in with your public transport plans.

There are seaplanes that land on the lake too, though that might be a non-starter in winter.

I think Geilo is better than Voss, and also look in the area around Lillehammer.
