In recent years Ruka has often laid claim to being the first non-glacier resort to open it's lifts and
slopes in Europe, normally in the middle of October. And the good news is that once the snow arrives it stays
for a long, long time !

What it lack in altitude and black runs Ruka more than makes up for in reliable snow.
The Finnish resort has one of the longest ski reasons in the world, not half bad considering their isn't the sniff of a melting
glacier in sight.
Despite it's lack of height (the fell's top height is just under 500m) it normally has enough snow knocking around to be able
to start running it's lifts in the first weeks of October right through until June.
And the good thing is that once the cold weather's got hold and the snow starts falling,
that tends to be the trend for the rest of the winter - for instance, it's rare to get a warm mid-winter or pre-Christmas spell
that you sometimes get in the Alps. Now that's what we call a snowsure resort.
