## Perfect If

- You have older kids/teens who want an epic freeride adventure
- Your family loves off-piste and backcountry skiing
- You want the unique experience of midnight sun skiing
- Your kids are experienced enough to handle Arctic wilderness skiing

## Skip If

- You have young children (toddlers/under 8) — resort character is hardcore freeride, not family-beginner
- You need extensive beginner terrain — ski area is small (21 km) and terrain skews advanced
- You require childcare or nursery facilities — no evidence found
- You need ski-in/ski-out family hotels — resort amenities are described as limited
- Accessibility is a concern — very remote, closest major airport is ~1 hour away in Narvik
- You need a long season — resort opens in February (too dark/cold before that)
