We had someone call us while on a ski holiday in Italy,” Ben Nyberg of tour operator skiScandinavia tells me as we zoom along the road towards Trysil, Norway’s largest ski resort. “He was so frustrated that, for yet another year, there was no snow, he immediately booked to come to Scandinavia instead.”
The exasperation is understandable. After too many seasons wading through dirty mounds of Slush Puppie snow in half-melted Alpine resorts, I too had decided to take the plunge and try a ski holiday in supposedly “snow-sure” Norway.
