Tromso Norway is  located 350 km north of the Arctic Circle. The small city bills itself as Norway's gateway to the Arctic. Tromso is northern Norway largest city. Surrounded by chilly fjords and craggy peaks that remain snowcapped for much of the year, it's best known as one of the better places in Norway to spot the Northern Lights.

Aside from the ski mountain, most of our events will be within walking distance from area hotels.  The ski area will be closed to the public during the day for WASC.  It will open to the public in the evenings for night skiing. There will be bus service from the hotel area to the ski mountain for all registrants so there is no necessity to rent a car.  You will not need to ski to watch the events however most of you will want to experience the amazing views from the top of the mountain. Currency is the Norwegian Kroner (NOK) the exchange rate is currently 1 US dollar = 10 Kroner.
