Sweden

Sweden has classy resorts, lots of touring and vast views of the Northern Lights. Swedes are into touring and cross-country skiing; the tall bits of Scandinavia are in Norway but the smartest, partiest resorts are Swedish, so that should help you filter a preferred destination. More Northerly resorts up in Lapland give the full Artic Circle winter experience with the Northern Lights, hundreds of miles of langlauf trails and increasingly-developed downhill facilities.
