The sport comes first on Sweden's exciting and beautiful slopes - by Aleksandra Moorast

Swedish skiing resorts are probably among the very few in Europe (and perhaps in the world) where people actually come to ski. Most other European winter sports centers — Italian or French Alps, for instance — are nothing more than open-air runways for showing off the latest trends in winter fashion. So if you are tired of the snow vanity fair — those glamorous overpriced resorts where the crème de la crème with their pocket-sized dogs in expensive outfits spend time before the après-ski scene sipping hot chocolate and gossiping — come to Sweden. Yes, as in the land of Volvo, IKEA and Ingmar Bergman.

Funäsdalen, also famous for its Sami communities and the cozy museum of Sami culture, offers its customers a "natural snow guarantee," meaning that at least five pistes (ski runs of hard-packed snow) and 12 miles of cross-country trails should be skiable within the area from Nov. 1 to April 30, no matter how warm the winter might be.
