Not recommended for real skiing
Not recommended for skiing on pistes! The whole place is basically set up for families with small kids, who just want to muck about in snow. But one pays Alpine prices!
The slopes are just runs on the side of a hill, so a lot are sloping to one side, making carving difficult.
Grooming was never done in the whole week! Never seen that in my 20+ ski trips to the Alps... There was some evidence of old grooming (the grooves) but at least weeks old.
Most of the reds are really blacks but classified as red for tourism development - a common practice in many places. But with no grooming, they are hard to ski. Some greens e.g. 36 are definitely not green due to being very uneven.
Some dodgy safety practices e.g. T-bar lifts with no assistant, and people crossing across the top end of a T-bar lift and getting hit when the T-bar is released.
Getting food is not easy. Trysil as an area is away from anywhere and the food in the Skistar Lodge hotel is stodge. A £40 buffet gets you OK food, but that price is ridiculous. Most people probably nick food at breakfast (where there was a reasonable choice) and make up packed lunches ð You can get a 30 min bus to a supermarket which we did a few times, buying some salad etc. But clearly a lot of people here had cars so they could drive off somewhere...
There is a bit of food on the slopes but very limited and with long and poorly managed queues.
Once you have been to somewhere like Cervinia, with beautiful scenery, perfectly groomed slopes, nice chairlifts, and decent food on the slopes, Trysil is pretty poor skiing.
It was an all-included package with Ski Scandinavia who did a fine job, with no problems at all. Cost was £4k for two, Skistar Lodge, breakfast only, so about the same as one would spend at say Cervinia on flights, a nice apartment, ski passes, etc.
The Skistar Lodge hotel is very posh but if apart from skiing there is very little. We actually had bad conditions for 5 of the 6 days but that's not the fault of the hotel or the area, although a lack of groomed slopes makes skiing harder if the light is not good.
Flight was to Oslo. The much closer airport, Scandinavian Mountain (ESKS) has something funny going on with it: flights are 3x the cost and that's just the start. Only some operators use it and the flight times are ridiculously early. But you get a 30 min transfer compared with the 2.5hr transfer from Oslo.
