I went to ruka last year and had a fantastic time
We were spoilt for choice regarding snow activities such as snow mobiling husky ,dog sledging, cross country skiing, reindeer farm experience etc.
We also went to see father christmas which really was a brilliant evening out!
In ruka itself there is very little to do except ski so possibly consider a hotel with activities included
We stayed at holiday club kussamo which was very nice and was about 45 minutes from ruka on a free ski bus.

Started in 2006 aged 26
We went to Rukka Finland for our honeymoon and had the most amazing holiday of our lives
We have both got hooked on this amazing sport and often sit watching skiing on eurosport dreaming of our next skiing adventure.Cant believe i wasted my life all them years going to Ibiza!

st wolfgang is a good beginers area for your friend and also there are lots of other activities away from the skis to enjoy also . I also found the food there excellent nomatter where you go to eat so i would say a top all round resort.

I am looking to buy a pair of ski boots and was hoping someone could tell me of a good place to get fitted and buy a pair in the northwest?
As i have to fly in from the isle of man i would really need to get this done in either manchester or liverpool if anyone has any advice would be greatfully recieved

hi
just a little tip i learnt whilst learning to ski is if like me you were not the quickest person skiing down the mountain please dont get nervous of people coming past you faster and dont keep looking behind you to see that you are not in anyones way as it is the person who is coming past you to make sure they do in a safe and responsible way. Just concentrate on enjoying your skiing and you will have a great time
