Vi är här på Riksgränsfjället sportlovet 2018 och Läste på Riksgränsens hemsida att snödjupet är 120cm men jag kan garantera max 30 - 35 cm snö, många backar som inte ens är pistade, sista branten ner till hotellet fick man åka mellan stenarna helt opistat. En lift stängd (se bild) en lift öppen endast 2 tim dagligen. Man kan väl åtminstone komma med korrekt fakta. Abisko 0 cm Björkliden 15 cm Narvik liftsystem 35 cm mycket lite snö i hela norra fjällkedjan. Nordalsfiket stängt (på sportlovet)???

Riksgransen isa a wonderful resort that is well worth the effort to get there. We took the overnight sleeper from Stockholm which was a great experience in itself. The last few hours in daylight you see the frozen Arctic wastes and when you finally reach Riksgransen a giant difgger was waiting and we threw our skis and bags uin to the scoop of that for the short trip down to the hotel. The hotel is a huge complex which contains a lot of rather grotty apartments that were full of students when we visited, I think there's a nicer hotel part too. There are vast halls that are used to feed everyone and a nightclub again full of grungey Nordic types. The ski area is like a huge terrain park, with great bumps and jumps everywhere and the chance to ski over the border in to Norway. It's really good fun stuff and there's a good artmosphere. The only thing I didn't personally like about the place was that there were hundreds of snowmobiles which went out all over the place making it seem like you were staying in a city centre, rather than the middle of nowhere, because of all the noise they made.

Riksgränsen is the place for the serious skier and an unusual experience not to be missed. Being the most northern skiresort´in the world, the season lasts until late June and from May in the never setting midnight sun. The skiarea is all above the treeline and some of it is in Norway, hence the name Riksgränsen, The State Border, in plain English. The sea is a few Km away, making temperatures seldom drop to unbearable levels. The pisted slopes are ok but only fun for a couple of days. However, this place is an offpist paradise which lasts for many, many uncrossed tracks in all difficult levels. This is all reachable from the toplift but if making a little effort an even greater award awaits by going up Nordalsfjäll by foot. The climb takes 20-30 min if in normal shape. On top you can see the sea and a fantastic view of the Sapmi land and mountains. When going down you can once again chose according to skill all from the very extreme to the gentle. To the left of the climb up to the top is the steep where a yearly extreme skiing competition takes place. On top of this there is a wide choice of Helisking where you can get some serious droplevels in the close by Kebnekaise massif. The afterski is either good or bad depending on season. From May it's busy and crowded in a mix of local swedes, norse, sapmi (don't call them Laps, they don't like that) and internationals. In the low season there is a perfect feeling of having a whole mountain for yourself, the same goes for the afterski ofcourse. A word of warning though. This place can be a harsh tutor. There are practically no forbidden areas or skiing lines in riksgränsen. It is entirely your own responsibility to get out of trouble and chances of fast help are slim if needed. It is easy to find yourself in very steep grounds if unaware. Your worst enemy of Riksgränsen is the infamous "flatlight". The light of the sea reflects on the slopes making the contours impossible to see. The sight ahead is not affected much but looking down the slope you only see milk. It might come and go in a second making in very hard to ski. Although remote, getting here is easy by air or train. By lowcost airplane from Stockholm to Kiruna you are in the pist in three hours. The train stops at the bottom of the slope with direct trains from Stockholm. The approach by train is not forgotten easily; reindeer herds, vast landscapes, polarlight and much more. Don't miss this place, in right condition a paradise, intresting enough in all if you are a keen skiier.
