Two weeks Finland, one in Ruka one in Yllas, log cabins £1500 inc flights.
£400 snowmobiling,huskies,ice karting,reindeer sleigh.
£200 car hire.
Lift passes.........not sure as buy by the day as and when, as x country tracks free. Using trial ski's means lift pass free for the day. But budget on about £300 for 2 weeks.
Total £2,400. for 2 people. Sounds hideous when you work it out like that.


If you take out your lifestyle costs, eating husky meat etc, your costs are £1500 + £200, = £450/week each. Thats under the £500 benchmark.

Dave I could'nt eat husky meat :lol: just use them for pulling a sleigh
