Sweden
Sweden Introduction
In general, 99.9% of all resorts are small and at a low level. Terrain will suit mainly intermediate freeriders and freestylers with treeriding and excellent off piste opportunities. Fast carvers won’t be too impressed and advanced boarders may find things a bit limiting, but novices will have a good time on loads of easy slopes.
Getting around the country is easy, although you may have to do some travelling to reach some of the far flung resorts. Air, bus and rail services are damn good, but all are very expensive.
Over all,
