The country that invented skiing fell off the radar, completely. Oh well, there loss is everyone else’s gain. The select few who go there (Although that may be about to change with Crystal ski selling Norwegian ski resorts again) will find that they have the run of the town. The slopes aren’t the most challenging (if you’re an expert maybe go elsewhere) but they are empty. Being free from the early morning standstills at the lifts, means that lift rage is a thing of the past. But what are the resorts? and what are they like?

It just has a back to […]
