Skiing in Sweden

[kingslug]

I just got back from sweden and was wondering if anyone has ever skied there. We plan on going back sometime but don't know how the skiing scene is. Our friend up there is into snow mobiles and doesn't do much skiing. The mountains in the area we where in are pretty small but I heard Are is better. Nice place to visit but expensive.

Don't know about the skiing, but I heard the women:men ratio is pretty good

Dude.. I work with a ton of Swedes.. In fact I'm meeting with a couple guys today...
I know they have good skiing there - it's just really dark during the winter.. Just about everyone I talk to that lives there - skis...

I hope to head out there at some point - do some business - make sme turns...

I was in Mora, near the Norwegian border. Lots of ATV's and snowmobiles. And yes, woman everywhere. The sun would set at 11 pm and rise at 4. Eating dinner at 11pm was weird, so was floating around on a boat all night. the party never stopped.

Yeah it's great up there in the summer. If you go in July and head a bit more north, your looking at at 3am sunset. We always stay on the southern coast of Norway, usually in the summer so the hours are more like the ones you've seen. I'll see what I can find out about skiing in Sweeden for you. I'm hoping to get over to over to telemark one day!
