Mountain has three sides, the "sunny" side (to the left of the ski map) which tends to be more popular and has lots of long open intermediate runs. The middle section which is where the black runs are and the colder "right" side which gets far less sun and tends to hold up better later in the day although can be a bit icy. The right side has far more beginner slopes and tends to be more popular with families. Overall, there is a good mix of runs for all abilities and some decent black runs in the middle section that are very very quiet. I would recommend spending the first day taking a tour of the mountain and working out what suits you best. There is usually an easy way down most runs so you can usually get off a difficult run if you get lost.

The lifts are very well maintained and if you avoid the local holidays there are hardly any queues; most times you can ski right onto the lift.

Apres-ski in the ski-village is busy as there aren't a lot of places to go. But the main village of Tyrsil is a bit further away and was very quiet when I visited. Prices were eye-wateringly high (but then everything is expensive in Norway) so remember to stock up on the duty free on the way in and save a few $$'s on going out; spirits are particularly expensive in Norway. I would warn that eating out has to be budgeted for carefully if you are going out as a family, but most accommodation has self catering and there are a few shops and these are well stocked so most people eat in most of the time.

I really enjoyed my trip to Tyrsil mostly as it was easy to get to from the airport and the quiet pistes and lack of queues were very refreshing from other places in Europe.

Last note: I enjoyed my trip so much I am off there again in a few weeks!
