Skied Norway in Jan 25, Hafjell, Kvitfjell and Trysil. Slopes mainly empty weekdays, great conditions. Best runs in Kvitfell. Night skiing in Hafjell part of daily ski pass. Trysil largest but a bit unconnected. Food and drink expensive we knew. Each resort probably a days skiing, 2 at most. Great experience, lovely people. Stayed at Scandic Hafjell on BandB £50ppn. Great bfast. Worth a visit, nice change from the Alps.
