Ice bears from the streets of Helsinki rescue my ski trip!

Ski trip in the surroundings of Kista is going badly. Can’t find open skating rinks or their excess snow piles. And I dragged my mini-skis all the way to Sweden for this! Sigh. But, as you know we have ice bears walking on the streets of Helsinki... and they bring the cold, good stuff.

There was even a slope next to the snow.

Surroundings of Kista were at the Solna, at the Ulriksdal Idrottsplats (sports place). And Ritorps Ishall (link). But it wasn't a totally wasted trip, I did find a very nice new swimming hall. A place to come again. The Medley Solna Simhall (link).

These streets of "Helsinki" are in Vantaa, in Myyrmäki. Specifically, the Myyrmäki ice skating hall #2 (link). The snow is at the back of the hall.
