Arctic Scenery Skiing Trip - Oulu Ski Resort

For the first time when buying a ticket, I actively asked, 'Does your ticket include insurance? How much is it to buy extra insurance?' ✅Transportation: There are trains, and there is also an airport nearby. The train takes quite a long time, it takes more than eight hours from Skien; if you buy the plane ticket in advance, it's quite cheap, not more expensive than the train. ✅Accommodation: Accommodation is quite expensive, but if you book half a month in advance, it will be much cheaper. It's probably around one to two thousand kroner per night (the kind of guest house for two people). ✅City transportation: I didn't see any buses on Google map (there should be some, right?), I took the ski bus, the ticket is included in the ski ticket. You can private message me for the bus schedule. ✅Keeping warm: -20° is indeed very cold, any skin exposed to the air will stiffen in a minute or two, and your nose hair can freeze into frost. But it's not damp cold here, wear a thicker down jacket, wear some thermal clothes inside, and you won't feel cold. Personal experience, skiing feels quite dangerous, often downhill + turning + one side of the cliff (maybe because I'm not good at it), learning to brake is very important, at least you can be careful and you won't fall too badly. The biggest difference from ice skating is that ice skating is on a flat surface, even if you can't, as long as you don't rush, you can easily stop, and the speed is not fast; skiing is all downhill, if you can't brake, it's really life-threatening. Also, the difference between ice skating shoes and ordinary shoes is not big, skiing has a very long board, which is quite unfamiliar.
