Sunny skiing at the Talma Glacier and Sherwood Forest

It was a sunny day, there were hammocks... and great skiing! Both in a running ski area (Sipoo's Talma) and one that had been abandoned years ago (nearby Kerava's Keinukallio).

Keinukallio is nicknamed Sherwood's forest, with a sign to prove it :-)

I remember Keinukallio ski center from my childhood (I lived nearby), but I can't remember when it closed. And can't find any information from the Internet about it. But according to this Helsingin Sanomat article, it was operating in 1990 at least. Anyone know the history?
