Yay for the local ski hills. This is yet another stop on my and Tero's drive back from the north, this time stopping at Ruskotunturi, a ski hill in Oulu. Our previous stop was an hour and half ago in another northwest coast ski hill, Kallin Hiihtokeskus (reported here).
This was during the pandemic, so we were just alone, touring Finland by car.
I also managed an off piste at this late April time, by going to the skier's left from the top. There was untouched snow! And Tero picked me up from the roadside on our way home. Thank you!
There were jumps on the slope, though again at this late time they were not really made of snow, but from dirt and ... hay or sawdust? Interesting...
The Ruskotunturi's home page is here. Coordinates are N 65.064243 E 25.539699. A day ticket is 27 euros.
