Skiing & Snowsports in November

Levi is Finland's biggest and busiest ski resort, and the only one that regularly hosts the alpine World Cup. Every November the men's and women's slalom circus comes to the Levi Black run, opening the technical season under floodlights and polar twilight. For everyone else Levi is a broad, well-groomed fell with dozens of slopes, gentle nursery areas and a long season: the front slopes can open in October and the south side runs into May, all above the Arctic Circle where snow is dependable and the midwinter light is a low blue glow. It is a forgiving place to learn or to rack up easy piste miles, with ski-in ski-out village lodging, a big cross-country trail network and reindeer and husky trips a short drive away. The resort's own ski school covers alpine, snowboard, cross-country and more for every level.
