I'm going to be in Finland from mid-November to January. I'll be based in Helsinki, but I can travel a bit. Does anyone have advice on where to ski/stay? I'd like to check out Ruka if possible.

I made a thread in the Finland regional as well, but haven't gotten any response.

Also interested in doing urban if any Finns are interested in showing me some spots. I can also do filming/ photography.

If you want to ski urban, Helsinki is propably your best bet. Talma and Serena are the best Parks near Helsinki. All the big resorts like Ruka are at north, so not so close to helsinki.

Definitely check Serena and Talma out, they're mostly park oriented small hills near Helsinki. If you want to hit urban you should probaby talk to Kevin_ here on NS, I know he and his crew do that stuff quite a bit.

Thanks guys! I'll definitely check out Serena and talma. Do you know if there are any hostels or cheap places to stay near ruka? I was thinking of attending the rail jam there on Dec 5 if I can make it.

I was in Helsinki this summer and the urban spots there look fucking sick.
