What’s It Like To Ski The World’s Northernmost Ski Resort?

Riksgransen, positioned in northern Sweden (and by northern Sweden I’m talking barely outdoors the Arctic Circle northern Sweden) is famed in the ski planet as ” . . . a bit of a legendary spot for the Swedes,” or for that matter, the planet more than, for both its extreme setting as well as one of the handful of places you can ski previous midnight whilst the sun is nevertheless shining (and I believed it was cool to sit at a bar and drink a beer beneath the midnight sun in Sweden).

By plane, count on a 1.five-hour flight, or for the really masochistic, cozy up with five ski bum strangers and take the 18-hour train north, where I’d suggest you bring along a large reserve of Schnapps and lots of reindeer embroidered pullovers for the frigid ride north.
