Frequently Asked Questions.
January: It can be a bit of a gamble. Short days and thin snow cover are typical. However, the light can be unique with pastel colours in the sky.
February: The ‘cold’ winter month. Generally good snow cover and longer days.
March: Prime time for ski touring. Long days, good snow cover and cold snow. But this is also the busiest time of the skiing season.
April: It is the transition to spring. Thick snow cover and milder temperatures. The sun is high on the horizon and the days are long. Heavy snow fall are still possible, but so is soft corn snow.
May: Spring skiing in the midnight sun is the name of the game. However, the snow line is slowly retreating.
June: Still skiable for adventurous souls. But carrying the skis on the backpack is nessesary.
To go skiing, a car is a must.
