Poster: A snowHead
|
My romantic plans for skiing and huskie dog sledding in Riksgransen, Sweden (arctic circle)from the 13th - 19th May have evaporated today - no accomodation available at all. Does anyone know where you can definitely ski in europe at this time? Things are getting desperate so I may decide to include US/canada in the criteria even though we're only going for a week. I'm looking for somewhere that is unusual/picturesque/quirky for me and the girlfriend. Needs to have more than just 2 ski lifts to keep us occupied for the week as we're both experienced skiers

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Val d'Isere/Tignes should be ok as they still have plenty of snow
also, Zermatt/Cervinia should still be running then as also seem to have some good snow levels.

tommyo, Engelberg Titlis will have plenty of vertical (1800-3000) but not so many lifts

Norway?
Don't have any specifics. Haven't been.
But it's "up there" isn't it?

No idea how much snow they have in May but Levi, Yllas and Saariselka in Finland are north of the Arctic circle. Stryn in Norway has summer skiing, but not winter (IIRC). I'm not sure when they dig out the roads. There is Bjoli not from from Stryn which does winter skiing.?

Both Geilo and Hemsedal (the best known resorts in Norway) shut at the end of April, so they're both out I'm afraid. Not sure about the other resorts (Oslo, Voss, etc.) though.
