Skiers on the slopes of first snow in Lahti.
In recent years, the first snow has been made ready for skiing at the end of November. The picture shows skiers on the slope in November 2020.

The first snow shipment will start on Monday 21 November.

The spreading of snow and driving to the first snow dump will start in Lahti next Monday. A good one-and-a-half kilometre long track near the old race track will be ready for skiing in about a week’s time.

The first snow slope will be a traditional two-way slope and you can ski in both traditional and skating style. The extension of the route will be considered by the sports department depending on weather conditions.
