Akureyri is the second biggest town in Iceland. It is in the north of Iceland with a population of only 18000 people. It has much more snow there than in Reykjavik. I was born and raised in Akureyri. Hlidarfjall is where I played my no 1 hobby, skiing and snowboarding. Hlidarfjall is considered the best ski area in Iceland. There are also other skiing areas close to Akureyri, like Siglufjordur and Dalvik.
This is where I am going next week for the holidays, like I do every year. I can't wait :)
I come from Akureyri so I know my ways well in the North of Iceland. I can help you out with any travel tips there. I have been living in the center of Reykjavik the last years. Working in various restaurants of Reykjavik through the years I have great tips about wining, dining and fun stuff to do...:) Also if you are looking for an apartment to rent during your stay, I can help you out.
