Levi ski resort

Another spectacular day in Lapland. Today was a pristine, windless, blue sky, sunny day and Tiina and Seppo suggested we do our 'downhill' skiing today. They were doing different things. Seppo went out and covered around 35km of cross-country skiiing and Tiina walked Toto, and cooked up a magnificent feast of traditional Lappish food for us all.
Tiina dropped us off to the Levi ski resort, and Barry and I had an absolutely magical day on the slopes. Well at least we did when we finally found the 'easy' slopes. Before that we were freaked out by what looked like near on vertical cliff faces that people seemed to face without the slightest hesitation.
I was on beginner skis but it still took us half the day to remember everything from the last one-day-a-year skiing trip we did, so that we could actually make it down this easy 2km slope in one piece (and trying to ignore the toddlers on skis whizzing past us).
So it was up down up down all day. The views were spectacular and it being a week day, end of the season, and not a holiday, there were no queues and barely any wait time. Magnificent day.

Toto - he's a Finnish Lapphund and loves the snow. He is absolutely beautiful. I wish we could take him home but Tiina says NO!

Barry having a Sauna. We have one every night. Check out the temperature gauge on the window sill. This house is rented and Tiina assures me, she and Seppo have nothing to do with the decor!
