The National Brotherhood of Skiers recently observed 50 years of camaraderie on the slopes with parties, parades, s’mores and, of course, skiing and snowboarding.
Gstaad it’s not, but this snowy region within driving distance of Stockholm has welcoming cabins deep in the forest, trails for every level of skier and a possibility of gnomes.
Conditions that are less than ideal (too little snow in some areas, too much in others) have left would-be skiers to find other forms of winter revelry.
