Ruka Snow History

Up To 1m (40") Of Snowfall in 48 Hours in SW Europe

Ski areas in The Pyrenees and the Southwestern Alps are celebrating after a big snowfall has brought deep cover to the region. Whilst large parts of the alps have not had any snow for three weeks and some not since November, this is the second successive week that a front has brought fresh snow to the continent's southwest corner, this time heavier than last. With snow still falling, ski areas in the Pyrenees have reported up to 60cm (two feet) of snow so far and those in the southern French A

Just heading out for second visit to Ruka. Absolutely love it. Accommodation is just fine with private saunas, log burners and so on in self-catering apartment. Skiing is great for anyone up to expert with a wide variety of shortish but fun piste. As the wind blows quite well all day there is never a shortage of soft lederhosen in the runs, nor is there a shortage of cafes around the mountain to warm up with a nice hot chocolate or whatever. Sun comes up about 10am and is gone again by 2pm so lots of spot-lit skiing which is surprisingly good fun and not difficult. You need to pack your big girls pants because it gets really, really cold. Not surprisingly that close to the Arctic Circle. For a break from the slopes I would recommend the snowmobile safari though there is loads of other stuff to do. Overall, a fantastic winter holiday.
