Norway or Canada for a season of ice 19-Feb-2014 At 5:56:00 AM trog

Rjukan is great - we had 2 weeks there when we were almost complete ice numpties, and there are a lot of accessible, moderate & consistent multi-pitches climbs - which was great for us to get mileage and confidence. (And a lot of routes for the non-numpties too...) Lots of info on UKC about norway.

Also great was that we could drive there with a van packed full of 2 weeks of food and booze rather than paying the bankrupting Norwegian prices... we went out for pizza one night and it was painful... Booze? fuggedaboudit.

They have also had a few mixed seasons over there i think - check the conditions on UKC. Should be different further north.

Lofoten looks amazing... and I think there are a lot of great (and new) routes opening up around the country.

But Canada will be cheaper, pretty reliable and all-round easier to organise I'd think.
And you shouldn't run out of things to do there ... especially if you have a Ghost-capable car.

Hopefully I'll be in the rockies again next week! Should post in the stoked thread!

The Alps - France, Italy, Slovenia would also be great - Ecrins, Aosta (Cogne etc)... maybe more crowds though and conditions haven't been stellar this year.
