The end of October is a challenging time for skiers in the Nordic latitudes. The days are getting shorter fast, the weather is already bitterly cold, and roller skiing is starting to be quite tricky. You can ski on snow in a few places, but the tracks are short first-snow trails. Now is an excellent time to pack your bags, throw your roller skis in your ski bag, and take a flight to Mallorca.

Mallorca, Spain’s largest island in the Mediterranean, is a great destination for skiers who are not looking for the first snow in Scandinavia in mid-October to November when the frosts are about to set in.
