It was really great because they had a main lodge (in the background to the right of the first photo) which prepared hot meals daily (for a fee) and also had a lovely cozy lounge/bar area, and then we stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin just a few hundred feet across the parking lot. Here is Tryfan ready to ski on the first day:
The owner Niklas also did the cross-country ski trail grooming using his snowmobile, and this morning he knew we were going out on a ski tour so he got out there before us to make sure they were nice and groomed. So kind! Here are R & T (mid-fall) with a moose head and the snowmobile in the background.
We had a good morning ski tour and the weather was perfect: about -5 C with fresh snow and sunny/ partly cloudy skies.
After we had some lunch, I went out for a solo ski tour and Rhodri and the kids went sledding. I came back just when they were heading back up the hill.
Upstairs in the main lodge, there is a play room that has a pingpong table and lots of space to run and slide on the wood floors. Perfect for that late afternoon, pre-dinner restlessness.
We had dinner on Monday night in the main lodge and it was delicious!Then Tuesday morning here is the breakfast scene:
And the post-breakfast jumping on beds while supposedly getting dressed scene...
