Yipee! Not only am I off to St Anton in Feb for 4 days, I now have the first week in March booked to go to Hemsedal in Norway (free accomodation !).
Has anyone been who can give some brief guide to the resort? (apart from the obvious "It's bloody expensive!")

Just checked my record.
Been to Hemsedal in 2001 Christmas. Very cold. Skiing condition very good and snow wasn't a problem at all except too much of it around.
It has 42km piste. The runs at the front of the resort are mainly black while the green ones are at the back or top of the mountain
My brother family, in Norway, has since gone for the heated boots and sent me the fitments which I found redundant if skiing in the Alps.
Nice resort.
When I did my first degree one-third of the class were Norwegians. They like to drink but all are very friendly.

You know it makes sense.

OK it would appear you have the experience that no other has.

Thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend there last Feb.
Do seem to remember more drags than chairs, but also remember wind that would make Aonach Mor look like inside! Remember thinking at the time that the two were linked.
Plenty of skiing to keep you entertained - similar to any small alpine village, and some challenging stuff onteh front of the hill.
Yeah it was dear, but at ~£4 for a bottle of Heineken didn't find it as horrendously expensive as I'd expected (howevera couple of beers does me - if you're out for a session, the price could mount up).
Cracking view (weather permitting) from the Skarsnuten. Also a very reasonable meal at the ski village (~£12 for main course) in the Oxen Bar & Grill. Peppes Pizza was good too.
You'll have a ball... but wrap up well.

Does anyone else keep thinking "Lord of the Rings" when they read the header for this?
