Whilst in comparison to other resorts, runs maybe short if I recall longest at yllas 2.5k.

No waiting time at the lifts at all, uncrowded slopes.

Before anyone asks I do not work for the Fin Tourist board, its really the most perfect place to ski, if you prefer perfect groomed slopes no rocks and are not a so called expert, mind we all think we are one of those at times when really no more than an INTER.

In addition,

Whilst nothing in this life is FREE, you actually get to ski for 7 days your 6 day lift pass includes 1 free day. This is due to most of the flights not leaving Kittala till around 1900hrs and of course its only a 45 or 15 mins trans depending on which resort.

Unless you are an absolute expert Yllas/Levi these 2 resorts will be challenging for most skiers.

Whilst quite obviously it gets very cold, because of very little wind -10 can actually be very pleasant.

The last 2 seasons the wife/I have been to each resort, would recommend either to anyone.

Tip! If i recall we booked about a month before for each resort.
Inghams each year seem to have really good offers to the AKAS think we payed £350 HB, this year we stayed at the Crazy R for the same price booking with FC.

Trips I think there was very little in it Rep/Yourself.

Should you require anymore info then send me a PM.

I intend to buy a pair of skis this weekend at the ski show.
Could anyone recommend a pair.
I mainly ski on piste.
Int-Adv but certainly no expert.
Last season I hired a pair of A Metrons (9) quite short if I remember 162 I am 6ft but found these quite good.
Many thanks should anyone reply.

Yllas! you and your family will love it.
Went to Yllas March 07, Levi 08, whilst I have no experience of the ski schools I would not think there would be any problems.
Lapland so underated and you have picked a good time of year not so cold, more day light hours etc.
Good luck with the Northern Lights,hope you dont end up with to much of a stiff neck looking for them.
