Sunne are likely to have already been "booked. The situation is likely to be the same in Sälen and Åre/Österund for the weeks around the time of RS,
sometimes rooms need to be booked 1-2' years in advance for certain weeks.

So if that is a correct assumption, where does that leave RS? They cannot continue to use Karlstad/southern Värmland since it isn't snow safe and
further North there are no accommodation available.

Interesting report from SMHI regarding snow depth and changes through the years. http://www.smhi.se/polopoly_fs/1.846...rologi_158.pdf
In large parts of Sweden the amount of days with a snow cover have decreased with between 10 and 30 days. in the RS area, the change is about -17 days/winter.
The comparison is how much it changed for the period 1990/91 – 2013/14 compared 1960/61 – 1989/90.
For me Falun could be the answer. Northern Dalarna and Värmland can still be used for stages. And also north of Falun is pretty snowsafe even last years.
