SNOW REPORT MARCH 15

Good morning Sunday!

The sun is peeking out from behind Vassi and our pistes look incredibly good, downright wonderful. A few warm-up laps there before heading out into the off-piste is recommended. An extra layer might be nice to wear, as there is more wind movement up on the mountain than down in the village.

During the past week, several pistes and lift tracks have begun to be packed down by our machine drivers – these pistes are lingonstigen, kanan, the last bit of BH-löpan as well as lift tracks around norddalsliften. These areas are driven but not milled, and are therefore counted as off-piste. Be attentive to yellow warning stakes, “unprepared run” signs and embankments. Also be aware of other embankments in the system – these are marked with either black-yellow stakes or yellow stakes placed in a cross. The snowcat drivers have worked hard to gather the snow that exists to be able to build pistes and lift tracks.

The ski touring trail is this year not yet marked as there is no safe way to draw it – all ski touring in the ski area is forbidden. Nordalsliften will not run at this moment, we are working on getting it started. Due to this, we are running Vinkelliften all day until 16:00. From Vinkel’s exit, a traverse track is marked with pale orange stakes that takes you back to the blueberry piste. Katterjokk-liften is closed, but snowmobile transport is being run during the lift’s opening hours.

Avalanche Information

A thin and unstable snowpack means that the off-piste is not like itself right now. There are more rocks showing than in many years and previously smooth parts can now be steep with terrain traps at the bottom. For skiing outside the ski area we refer to Lavinprognoser.se. Cracks and releasing snow are discovered daily in our steeper slopes – therefore always ski with a shovel, probe, transceiver and a friend if you plan to head out off-piste.

Always carry a transceiver, shovel, and probe, and never ski alone when heading off-piste. For avalanche forecasts outside the managed ski area, please visit Lavinprognoser.se.

Cross-Country Tracks

No tracks have been groomed yet; we will provide updates throughout the season.
