I am thinking of heading off to sweden at the beginning of february for the rest of the season. What are the best resorts there?

I am a competent skier and I am looking for a good park and good off piste- not sure what this is like in sweden.

Any tips please let me know. Also I will not have anywhere to stay so if anyone knows of any good deals please hook me up! Thanks

How much should I expect to pay for accommodation in Are?

Does anybody know of any cheap places to stay?
Thanks

For park I'd say Åre, but you should probably try to get a trip up to Riksgränsen too for some serious off-piste (with or without a rental sled)

I lived in Norway for 8 months and traveled to Sweden frequently, nothing is cheap in those northern countries. Be prepared to pay a fair amount for lodging if you are staying for half a season.

Im from sweden and there are a few real good places here, buts its on a smaller scale.

Åre its great for park amazing but its quite expensive and takes quite a while to get to.

Riksgränsen real good for powder and bc style stuff. aslong as theres good snow.

In Sälen. places like Tandådalen, and Kläppen is nice for park aswell.
