    I'm lucky enough to have just come back from a 6 day holiday to the north of Norway, I flew to Tromso and then took the ferry up to Kirkenes and back. Rain in Tromso on the 4/12 - it was warmer than Gatwick. Huge storm, with snow and 30m/s wind on the evening of the 6th, this then cleared late evening and the Aurora did it's wonderful dance from 23:00 to 01:00 - first time I've seen it and absolutely magical and fantastic to see. Then it returned on the next evening at 17:00 for a show in the clouds. At 20:00 it returned to light up the whole sky in swirls of pale green and yellow, totally different to the previous days colours and style. Again it returned at 23:00 for a paler white and yellow show. Finally it appeared again on the next evening. Could see huge glows of orange pulsating over the mountains. 3 nights in a row - can't complain about that. Thank you Norway

    Sweden Snow

    Hej Spurry,

    I went skiing in Vemdalen about 10 years ago. It was my first ski holiday so I didn't really know what to expect. Actually, I'm not sure how far north Vemdalen is compared to Klovsjo, but it seemed to take forever being driven up there from Stockholm.

    I remember the pistes being very icy and as a beginner I didn't like this, but then the temperature warmed slightly and I could suddenly feel how to turn and carve the snow rather than "chattering" along.

    Scenery is beautiful from the top, lots of animal tracks to see in the mornings and I also saw reindeer and elk in the wild.
