Rising above the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland, Levi combines thrilling winter sports with the magic of the northern wilderness. As Finland's largest ski resort, it offers 43 slopes across both sides of the fell, creating a unique Arctic skiing experience where you can chase the Northern Lights or ski under the Midnight Sun, depending on the season. The resort's vibrant village atmosphere blends traditional Lappish culture with modern amenities, making it especially appealing for families and groups.
Levi spreads 43 runs across 45 km of piste of terrain. It leans intermediate at 47%, with 19 beginner runs to find your feet and 3 advanced or expert runs when you want to push.
The ski season in Levi stretches from October to May, offering one of the longest seasons in Europe. Early-season skiing starts under Lapland's autumn colors, while midwinter brings the ethereal polar night period when slopes are illuminated for extended skiing hours. Spring presents perfect conditions with lengthening daylight and reliable snow coverage. Beyond winter, summer transforms Levi into an outdoor adventure destination with hiking, mountain biking, and golf under the Midnight Sun.
Situated 170 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, Levi is remarkably accessible for such a northern destination. The resort is just a 15-minute drive from Kittilä Airport, which receives direct flights from major European cities during peak season. The resort center, Levi Village, concentrates accommodations, restaurants, and services within walking distance of the slopes, creating an intimate atmosphere where Arctic wilderness meets modern convenience.

Aspen Snowmass turns 80 this December, and it's marking the milestone with $3.75 lift tickets on the anniversary itself - the original 1946 price. A discounted long weekend, $19.46 dining specials, lodging deals up to 46 percent off, and a season of anniversary programming round out the celebration across all four mountains.

Doppelmayr closed its 2025/26 business year with revenue up 9.1 percent to 1.3 billion euros, driven by projects including the Big Sky Explorer Gondola, Deer Valley's Mayflower East Village Gondola, and the first TRI-Line installation at Hoch-Ybrig. Headcount grew too, with the ropeway manufacturer now employing almost 4,000 people worldwide.

Hintertux Glacier is retiring its 40-year-old gondola to the Tuxer Fernerhaus. The replacement carries 10 people per cabin instead of four, with seat heating and nearly 40 percent more hourly capacity. Doppelmayr's new line opens at the end of October 2026, right as the glacier's high-altitude terrain becomes accessible again for the new season.

The International Ski and Snowboard Federation is looking at a major shake-up to its title events calendar. From 2032, World Championships could run not just in odd-numbered years but in every non-Olympic winter too, effectively putting a global title event on the calendar almost every season. The FIS Council has approved the concept following a feasibility study, though an accelerated rollout as early as 2028 is also under consideration.

Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.
