The opportunity to do some genuine winter activities is what you’re going to get on an adventure trip to Norway. Forget putting your feet up because it would be criminal not to take advantage of the ice-climbing, bobsled runs, snowmobiling, snowshoe treks and downhill skiing.
Exodus who offer this trip say:
“The small ski station of Kvitfjell has the perfect combination of a few quality ski runs and extensive back-country terrain. Almost deserted during the week, but with lively weekends, we think this is the number one choice for a unique combination of winter sports. We include a series of varied guided activities, mixed with free time for continuing with these alone, plus a 3-day ski pass and ski rental package that allows you to alternate between any type of equipment during the week. To finish this exciting week we spend the last day at the Olympic Park in Hunderfossen, home to Norway’s only bobsleigh run.”

If you really want a white Christmas you might want to consider a Finnish winter adventure with Exodus.
“Discover the beautiful wilderness of Finnish Lapland on snowshoes, cross-country skis and snowmobiles. Our wilderness base located at the edge of the Oulanka National Park is a truly spectacular setting for this fun-filled winter holiday, designed to introduce you to some of the most popular Nordic activities. There is a chance to meet the indigenous Sami people of Finland, and take a trip on a traditional reindeer-pulled sleigh. A highlight of the week will certainly be time on the husky farm, playing with the puppies before heading out on a dogsled ride through forests and across frozen lakes. If you’re lucky, and the night sky is clear, you might even catch a glimpse of the magical Northern Lights.”

This is one of the coolest inventions to hit winter sports in a long time. Simply put, this little gizmo allows you to film your exploits unfettered. So whether it’s mid air spins or your first time on skis - you can capture it with Third Eye.
Rip Curl who make this product say:
“THIRD EYE is a goggle equipped with a minicam that plugs into the analogue input of a camcorder, thus providing you with an “onboard” video camera. As the camcorder itself merely records the images sent to it by the THIRD EYE, it can stay safe in the bottom of your backpack.”
Technical features of the Third Eye goggle-camera include:
