Norways premier downhill resort, I'll have you know.
I hadn't heard of it until we went a couple of seasons ago. It's very nice as as it's north and cold the snow is very good, or it was when we were there.
Alcohol and on slope food is a bit eye watering though, but Ok with a a bit of careful planning, like bringing in a case of wine from the UK!

@t44tomo,
Can you get wine/beer at reasonable prices in local shops?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Wine & spirits no, they are only sold thru controlled gov outlets, but the local supermarket (we were staying at the radisson blu, the supermarket was just across the way towards the lifts) sold cans of beer for a reasonable price, £2 ish a can from memory.
You can stock up on wine at the duty free shop on arrival at the airport also or bring your duty free allowance from home if you have the weight allowance left in your luggage- a little cheaper than Oslo airport shop.
The hotel restaurant / bar wanted a limb for a bottle of wine and north of £10 for a beer.

my top tip, having skied in NOrway several times is take essentials. We fly usually with BA so you have loads of luggage, this year SAS but still have 23kgs each. We take x 2 box of wine! Lots of pasta, cheese rice and buy essentials there.

@warbis66, +1. Take a bottle of spirits, if that's your thing. Price of beer from supermarkets is OK. But not in a bar or restaurant.

As a person who lives in Norway, all's I can say is stock up on alcohol before you arrive (and/or duty free upon arrival). The traditional apreski for Norwegians is to to drink a few glasses in your room at the end of the day, and then hit one of the bars. If you are over 25, avoid "Låven" which is the biggest bar at the bottom of the resort. I was there last year with some friends (all around 40, and we felt very "old").
If you are travelling with kids, then the skistar resorts (Trysil, Hemsedal, Åre, etc), are great for kids.
