Notes:
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sauna are all provided by the course in Kilpisjarvi
breakfast 8-9, lunch 12-13, dinner 17-18.
Meals in Rovaniemi (except breakfast) are to be paid by the participants
Please bring your passport with you as we may visit Norway (outside the EU)

Skis or snow shoes are not needed, but can be useful.
If anyone has avalanche transceivers then bring them.
