Hemsedal Ski Resort - Norway

Hemsedal ski area is a beautiful, quiet resort. It has a base at 675m (2214ft); the top of the field is 1497m (4911ft). The field has a fast modern lift system with good off-piste skiing. The field is best suited for snowboarders, families, intermediate cruisers and those seeking a lively nightlife. Hemsedal offers the highest lift served slopes in Scandinavia. There are 41km of groomed runs.
There is plenty of terrain to entertain snowboarders for a week.

The field has a large terrain park, which is floodlit at night and features two half-pipes and two quarter-pipes. Children under 7 ski for free and are provided with a free helmet for their adventure.

The slopes are good for family although if you get too far from the slopes to find powder snow, be careful. I have heard of people caught on mountains with huge drops everywhere. Ask the ski patrol before going off pisting! The mountains are majestic and can be dangerous. Ski Patrol will advise you on areas off piste in danger of avalanche. Overall a fantastic place to snowboard though...
