Finland isn’t often on the top of most people’s dream ski trip list, but after watching this short video, you might put it there. Finland doesn’t have a ton of massive mountains, but Lapland, the country’s northernmost region, does get pretty consistent snowfall between December and April. With much of the region sitting in the Arctic circle, Lapland has some pretty short and dark days throughout the winter, so a lot of skiing is supported by lights.
This video by Antti Ollila captures the stunning beauty of Lapland’s powder-filled night skiing. It was shot at Levi, Ounasvaara and Ruka ski resorts, all in Northern Finland, with GoPro/headlamp setups to capture each seen. It’s a pretty darn impressive video.
This clip leaves out music, allowing the viewers to enjoy the pure noise of night skiing, but if you want to see a similar clip with music, head here.
