First turns of the year in Greenla… I mean Kivikko, in eastern Helsinki. Nice powdery stuff with a firm rock and grass base underneath. Good day.
I don't understand how I've not been here before! A wonderful place. They had a snow gun running as well, so this isn't just natural snow.
The area is fenced off, but at least today the gates were open. If they are not open.. maybe you shouldn't enter? But there are also broken off fence part a bit higher up from where the gate is, and you may be able to enter underneath the gates, e.g., from the other gate at the top. In any case, be safe. There is no guarantee that there aren't under-snow dangers, people have reported high drops, always check out what you will ski or slide down on first!
Such a great scenery:

The slope is here N 60.241013 E 25.059824. The entrance gate is in coordinates N 60.241195 E 25.05802. And the parking spot that I found easy to use (200m from the gate) is in coordinates N 60.242133 E 25.058244.
Pictures, starting from the halfpipe:
There was a snow gun running (by the city?):
And the fence and gate:
