Is it more expensive to ski in Scandinavia than in the Alps?
It's actually very reasonable. Ski passes in Scandinavia are often even slightly cheaper. Obviously, the fact that many travel to the Alps by car and getting to Scandinavia requires travelling by boat or by air, does make a difference. Even though the boat crossing is a magnificent addition to your vacation, it does bring added cost. The chalets and apartments in Norway and in Sweden are different from what we are accustomed to in the Alps but, in our opinion, they are no more, or at least not much more expensive: no large buildings, very cosy, a good to extremely high standard and almost all with an open fireplace and sauna. Alcohol and tobacco is expensive in Norway (in Sweden, to a lesser degree).
