I'm actually travelling to Norway rather often for work and I do like that place, but it's certainly not for the weather or the price levels.

France, Austria, Italy are common winter destinations but I have never heard of anyone going to Norway for skiing.

For downhill skiing in Europe, I wouldn't choose any of the Scandinavian countries for repeat skications when other options in Europe or the Americas are as convenient or perhaps even more convenient.
