May ski turns on the melting local ski hill, some snow still left despite the early spring. Also a visit to the smoke saunas in Kuusijärvi that were empty due to the May Day.
Much of the snow on the Kauniainen ski hill has been stored again for next year, but some is left outside the covered pile as well. It is quickly melting, but even on the upper part there is enough to ski several turns. There's a thicker snow cover near the bottom, but that was further away from where I parked, so I skied the upper one. It was also steeper :-)
Probably not enough to stay for June, however.
This place has of course been my go-to-place for many, many years for May 1st ski runs. See for instance year 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024.
