Yeah anywhere where the snow is good, you can't make snowmen :D

Did you find it was extremely expensive? helsinki was but as its the capital i thought it might be abnormally hiked prices. (reindeer is awesome!!)

It was expensive, but I always knew it would be. But even more so with the euro being what it was. I was surprised how expensive reindeer was, considering it is their main sorce of meat. Alcohol was expensive but we are not huge drinkers so it did not matter. They had a lot of really nice ski clothes shops, but really pricey. I wanted a salamon beanie hat, 50 euros, I just could not bring myself to do it. The trips we did are also expensive but we certainly did the right thing pre-booking them all when we booked the holiday, much more expensive now. Hubby had bear one evening when we went out, that was 50 euros.

Hey Rose, glad you had a good time. Sounds like the perfect place for you, despite those tricky reds! In time....
It looks kind of eerie, being half lit all the time. I bet its really quiet too.
As expensive as I had thought it would be.
Perfect place to go with kids I would imagine with all those activities. Not sure its a place I'd go to ski, but really pleased you loved it.

Thanks Tony it was certainly right for us, and I will tackle those reds, just have to go back next year and master it. Actually already booked. :lol: It was the quietness we loved.

Nice photos I so want to go back to Finland
