Just a few weeks ago, most of Europe was enduring a heat wave so sweltering it was dubbed "Lucifer." Yet in Sweden, the prospect of winter suddenly doesn’t seem too far off, as Thursday saw the first snowfall of the year—and it is was right on time, apparently.

While most of the country is still enjoying temperatures in the high 60s, Sweden’s highest mountain station, the Låktatjåkko ski lodge, which sits at 4,029 feet above sea level along the northern border, recorded a flurry of snowflakes. According to the Swedish edition of The Local, the arrival of the inaugural snow drift didn’t exactly come as a surprise, either. “It's almost the same day to the day as last year. It seems to be punctual,” Henrietta Backman, who works at the station, told local newspaper Norrbottens Kuriren.

The snow is good news for skiers and snowboarders, who flock to the mountain each year for its off-piste skiing, dramatic landscape, and remote location (you have to travel by snowcat or in a snowmobile-drawn sled to reach the lodge). And if last year’s season is anything to go by, which saw an abundance of snowfall, 2017/2018 is setting itself up to be just as good.

Of course, snow bunnies will have to wait a few months before they can actually hit the slopes—Sweden’s winter officially spans from December through April. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy watching the snow accumulate before then. The Låktatjåkko ski lodge has plenty of rooms for guests visiting from the nearby ski town of Björkliden, complete with a sauna, open fireplace for when the next cold snap hits, and freshly prepared dinners. Plus, given its northern location, you might even catch a glimpse of the northern lights as early as mid-September. Mountaintop sauna sessions and stargazing? We're sold.
