Trysil buying snow

Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. UK family here. So we're all booked up to go to Trysil on 27th Dec for 7 nights staying at the Radisson Blu resort. Reason for asking is that when we went on our 1st ever ski trip to Avoriaz early Jan , the instructor told us that a French blue is typically a Red anywhere else. Which started to make sense because I went assuming I'd be fine on green and some of the easier blues but found a lot of the blues really difficult. Had a 2km walk down one of them as it was just too steep for me 2. How busy would the Trysil slopes typically be from 27th Dec to 3rd Jan. I assume it can't be any busier than our Avoriaz trip last year where snow conditions were awful and all surrounding mountains were closed which meant EVERYONE headed to the limited number of open slopes at Avoriaz. I did a quick check on Trysil temperature last week showed minus 28 celsius. What are the social spaces like at the Radisson Blu resort? Do these social spaces tend to be in the hotel bar or does the lobby have seating as well? I know alcohol is really expensive but what about soft drinks? I have no issue loading up my wives handbag with miniatures bottles of vodka and discretely slipping that in to a glass of Coke under the table. Whilst I'm likely to get away with topping up a soft drink with vodka, I was also hoping to take my own beer which would be a lot more obvious. How likely is it that the hotel would be OK with me drinking my own beer? I know it's going to be an expensive holiday so anywhere I can save money is a bonus. And for anyone thinking well why did you book Norway, having experience very poor snow last year, we wanted to go somewhere where good snow was pretty much guaranteed at new year because our dates are restricted by school holidays. Thanks all. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? Its a goodly while since i've been to Trysil, but I did do a feb half term trip there so here goes I don't recall the Blues in Trysil being anything other than gentle, that said there are some green graded slopes in Trysil too, but there were mega gentle, and plenty of gentle blues too. All the steeper stuff is in area's that are easily avoided, typical of scandinaniva its a relatively low hill sticking out of a plain, not an alpine valley, hence you just dont get the 'tricky home run down to the valley floor'. I don't recall any significant lift queues. Scandanvia is north enough not be getting the lack of snow problems which you experienced in France this year. It was busy but not overly so as a lot of families would eat and return to rooms or drink in their rooms see below. The bowling bit was quite crowded and I recall the food service was appallingly slow the evening we chose to eat there, but we got an upgrade to our half board another night to the posh restaurant to compensate. Hot chocolate and coffee on the slopes were reasonable too, probably cheaper than france, but not as cheap as Italy. Restaurant dole out lovely tasting tap water for free. Wine and spirits have to be bought from the govt shop in Tyrsil town or from the bar. We were given interconnected rooms for the kids so just met up 2 families and the kids chatted in one room and adults in chatted and drunk in the other. I think topping up your coke with vodka from the handbag in the bar would be rightly frowned on if caught. Taking you own beer into their bar should rightly get you thrown out into the snow. Don't even think about it. I think the rest of Europe is catching up with bar prices for beer in Scandinavia - you can probably find a beer in ski resort in France more expensive than in the radisson trysil to be honest. You need to Login to know who's really who. I figured drinking your own alcohol would be frowned on but no harm in double checking. We have plenty base and mid layers so sounds like snoods may be what we need. Do you reckon glove liners will suffice inside standard non-expensive ski gloves? As someone who wears glasses, I'm hoping its cold enough to avoid any goggle misting. Wasn't an issue in Avoriaz because with temps just above zero, never got cold enough to need the goggles, or at least not at the slow speeds I was going at! Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. It will go dark comparatively early as well. You'll need to Register first of course. Re gloves gavman99 , yes, if your hands are cold, wear another layer on your body, that's usually the issue and you body warms your core up by restricting blood flowing to your extremities. Keep your core warm and your hands and toes will be fine. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports So whilst isn't way out of the ordinary, it's also not the normal temperature for Trysil at new year. One thing to bear in mind is that if it is very cold, it'll likely be a dry cold so much more manageable than you might expect. You may need an extra layer, mittens rather than gloves, and be prepared to nip into a varmestuga literally, warm hut regularly to warm up. Most of the pistes in Trysil are fairly mellow. Don't get tempted to try Eksperten piste 75 though unless you are happy on steeps - it really is 45 degrees at the top. Even if it is busy, it won't feel like the Alps because in general people are more relaxed and polite in their skiing. I wrote a trip report from here. Re-reading bits of it reminded me of the wind, which was more of a problem than the temperature that year. After all it is free. We were there Xmas , at the mountain resort instead of the one at the bottom but we did go there on Xmas day to go surfing. Everything is clean, people are pretty relaxed and the slopes are not very busy compared to France. New Years is more special for them compared to Xmas. You can usually make a packed lunch from breakfast. Normally they have paper bags you can ask for or which are visible to put your made sandwich in. As we had a kitchen we would cook the evening meal. Temps were -5 to Nothing ridiculous like or thanks Canada ! You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Ski the Net with snowHeads. So in response by point 1. Dont know about Avoriaz, but Trysil really doesnt get too busy, and the first few days of Xmas period might be quiet when people do Xmas at home then drive up to their ski lodges there afterwards. In any case, the queues are orderly and people polite. When we were there it wasnt so cold as the days had lengthened. But I did get thin balaclavas from Decatlon, then returned them unopened as unused. The pool is good, has seating poolside and a bar! The bowling gets busy so if you want to bowl then, book early. There is a bar area in the lobby we didnt go. We got the half board option, if you want it and its not on the website to book there, just ring them up and they can add it, its well worth it. Will you have a car? If so you can stock up at the supermarkets in town not too expensive , and its a 5 min drive. My daughter brought a soft drink to the buffet every evening and they werent fussed. But for alcohol , as said, buy at duty free, the one in Olso is pretty good if you cant be bothered lugging it from UK. If you go get the half board, its in the buffet pretty good and has something for everyone but for one night they let you eat in one of the other restaurtants in the hotel to a limit which is a nice change. We did eat in the pizza place in the lobby, its pretty good, and the American burger bar at the bowling, a bit greasy to tell the truth. Thats really a no no in most places. Like I said, get the half board, load up at breakfast, then a snacky lunch, the waffles are a good bet, Knettsetra is a good place for those, otherwise Barbacoa at the base of Blue 20 is not too pricey. There are a few actually, a couple along the main highway Kiwi and Rema mid price range that face each other with their carparks in between, you cant miss them , and one if not two a bit further away in the town shopping centre where you need to cross the river the more expensive set ups. Theres also a Europris on the main road in but to the south which is a weird mix of a few bulk food items and household wares prob the cheapest if you can find what you want in it but I wouldnt count on it. And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. Had a 2km walk down one of them as it was just too steep for me I can't speak of Avoriaz specifically, but the general consensus is that the Trysil grading is 'easier'. Some of the greens run across the main slopes so you often get a chance to turn off from a red or blue onto a green , however on a snowboard as they the greens, in particular number 19 are quite narrow and flat in places I found that more of a pain! The other reds are closer to 'true reds'. We didn't do Blue 26, however an instructor told us that was the steepest blue there, so if we wanted to take a more mild route then you can start on 78 and join 49 to get to the same endpoint. However as always snow conditions make a difference, despite a poor snow forecast we had snow almost every day this year, which made life simple. Perhaps in icy conditions my view would be very different! Quote: 2. The longest we queued for the main lift T2 from your perspective coming from the Radisson Blu was around 20 minutes at a guess, although the chair lifts did annoyingly stop an unusually large number of times and it can get quite windy!!! Quote: 3. When we checked the forecast we too saw a day and a couple of other cold ones, but luckily for us when we got there the first day peaked at then it got warmer, with a couple of days around -9 and the rest between -3 and -7 ideal skiing temperature in my view! With regards to clothing, I bought some new Level mitts which say good to and my hands got cold on the colder days on the lift. On the milder days I wore a baselayer a flannel type shirt and a shell jacket and on the colder days I replaced the shell with an insulated ski jacket but as I say we never had extreme temperatures. Definitely take hand and foot warmers for children, we bought heated gloves not the USB chargable ones as we were warned off them , but found in the end traditional well insulated Hestra gloves with a merino inner layer we got from the Ski Star shop and a toe warmer wrapped around the thumb was the ultimate combo! Her jacket was Mountain Warehouse and helmet Wedze and we didn't have too many complaints about a cold head or body she did also wear a neckwarmer from Mountain Warehouse and a ski mask. Quote: 4. There never looked to be much seating, but equally we never struggled to find any, so I guess there's more than it seems! There are some larger tables in the bar area, however you may need to get there early and camp out to secure one although later on it does empty out too. There isn't really any additional seating in the lobby, but the Brasserie restaurant next to the bar has additional tables which are separate from the eating area so you can probably join some of them together without getting in anyone's way. Quote: 5. Whilst we were there one guy brazenly took out a bottle of whiskey ml not a minature!!!! After the first couple of days they always had to security people watching the drinking area, they spoke to quite a few people, but it was in Norwegian so it may have just been friendly chat rather than telling people off. A soft drink e. They also have free water available in the corner. Quote: 6. See above, if spotted you may be marched back to the room not entirely sure what happened to that guy, I assume they just told him if he wanted to drink his own alcohol he had to do it in his room. Quote: I know it's going to be an expensive holiday so anywhere I can save money is a bonus. That was exactly the same logic as us! We have been to Are, Sweden twice, Voss once and most recently Trysil The only things to look out for other than the cost and the cold are the piste labelling, which is non-existent in places and also the piste map, which is a bit imprecise for example you can't get T8, join green 24 and then green 19 even though the map suggests you can! You know it makes sense. Thanks all for some really good info there. Quote: Will you have a car? No we won't have access to a car and we're in a standard room so no kitchen facilities to cook anything. I assume the nearby restaurants would be open in the evenings. One downside to half board is it forces your hand to eat there so is there likely to be enough variety to last a week? Quote: who did you book with, to or diy? So far its DIY. I thought that was quite reasonable tbh. Plus flights on top of that obviously. Quote: Definitely take hand and foot warmers for children, we bought heated gloves not the USB chargable ones as we were warned off them I didn't realise you could get heated gloves which weren't charged via USB. Can you provide any more info on these? I was planning to take the little pouches that heat up and put them inside the gloves. Quote: Whilst we were there one guy brazenly took out a bottle of whiskey ml not a minature!!!! I'm brave but I'm not stupid!! I reckon we could get away with using 30ml miniature bottles. Sounds like the beer option is a non-starter though. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. You do the research but almost certainly yes, and there wasnt much other places to eat bar the radisson if you have no car. A pizza place near the supermarket IIRC unless there has been loads added recently. The locals in the lodges tend to self cater I think. I'd go either HB in hotel or proper self cater. You also might want to price up DIY vs a package thru is it 'Skistar' who own the whole resort anyway, that way you get the transfer bus thrown in? Quote: I didn't realise you could get heated gloves which weren't charged via USB. The combo that worked for us was: Merino mitt liners Wrap one toe warmer purely because of the shape, this worked better around the thumb Hestra mitts Handwarmers too on the colder days Quote: No we won't have access to a car and we're in a standard room so no kitchen facilities to cook anything. We didn't try the Brasserie, but others we spoke to said it was decent, Chill frankly looked pretty uninspiring so we avoided the food there. The Italian place was pretty good you can also order from there when sitting in the bar and get pizza in takeaway boxes to take back to the room. The buffet was actually quite impressive, it doesn't look particularly big at first, but the selection was decent over the week and we didn't get bored. In addition within walking distance there is another Pizza place called Pepe's which I think is a Norweigan chain , a pub which I think does food too another Italian which was pretty good and another one called Taste which seemed to be the easiest to get a table in due to its size at lunchtime. Not sure how to describe the cuisine, it had a pretty small menu, burgers mainly but not fast food style. Then there is a BBQ place which was always rammed but not that great frankly and another seemingly more budget traditional style pub, which looked good, but was always really busy. I'm not sure how late those restaurants near the lifts stay open. Half board on the day is I think around NOK, and I think a pizza from the Italian in the hotel is approximately NOK for comparison if you get a starter and desert then it would work out roughly the same. The pizzas are fairly filling tbh, we never felt hungry afterwards even without starters. Yes Pepes is a chain but you have to love the scissors they give you to cut your pizza with.

Guide to skiing in Trysil, Norway

Trysil buying snow

We're passionate about helping to create memorable mountain experiences, so it's all about improving the resort, facilities and accommodation. We're focusing on creating skiing experiences that are difficult to find elsewhere. Our new Snow Park in Trysil will serve as a gathering place for ski enthusiasts to meet on the slopes, and will feature a new 1,meter park lift. The new T-hook lift will have a capacity of 1, people per hour. The park will consist of three lines, blue, red and black respectively. There will be rails, jumps and park elements all in one area, and will be a place for everyone who loves park riding, regardless of experience. In addition to snow production in the new park, new lighting will make evening competitions possible, and evening skiing may be extended from the Turistsenteret. This is the first phase in the big plan to prepare the area around the Tourist Center for a future main lift. L20 will be a brand new SkiStar Fun Ride , a mix of ski cross and cool elements that offer speed and fun. It will act as an extension of the new park area. For many years, we've focused on opening for cross-country skiing in Trysil earlier than normal, and this year we have some good news for freeskiers and snowboarders. A small rail park will be opened at the bottom of the resort, by the Eventyrheisene, on November 2, before the rest of the resort opens. This will be a free offer for anyone who wants to jump-start their park riding with simple rails until the new park opens, which will happen when there is enough snow and all jumps and rails are ready. Join us for the season opening of the rail park with an open session and rail jam, where SkiStar ambassador Birk Ruud will be in attendance. We are delighted to announce the launch of a new flight route in collaboration with SkiStar partner, SAS. The route will depart from London Heathrow Airport and arrive at Scandinavian Mountains Airport , with a quick minute transfer to Trysil. From 2 February to 30 March , guests travelling to Norway's largest ski resort will enjoy a more comfortable journey, enhancing the overall experience. The first flight from Gatwick is scheduled for 21 December , with the last flight departing on 5 April Valleskogen will have lights that make it exciting to ride in the evening after the sun has gone down. The transport belt that runs in the children's area will be replaced and a new tunnel will be put in place to make the experience even better. For those who choose to hold their conferences or courses in the mountains , Trysil will become even more attractive by upgrading the technology and furniture. There will be new furniture to make meetings more comfortable, and technical equipment, including LED screens, will be available in all meeting rooms.
