Buying powder Vuokatti

Sunday, February 17, Raisio by Snowboard. Vuokatti , Flagstaff , and Raisio: my last three Sundays. I'm definitely on a path to visit the major cities in the world. And it is a grey, rainy day. Snow is heavy, the landscape is flat, and industrial Raisio will not be winning any beauty contests any time soon. Raisio But this is not an opportunity to get depressed, it is an opportunity to have some fun in the snow. A little bit of scouting reveals a small hill in the woods behind the factories. I hike up and snowboard down. Yes, snowboard. I started snowboarding last week, in preparation for a future adventure that feels more natural with a snowboard. By now I have almost three hours of experience on it. Enough to board around dense Finnish forests? For sure, as grabbing a tree helps a lot in what I miss otherwise in turn-making ability. Snowboard and chemicals factory At the top of the hill in Raisio My first snowboard powder tracks, from a week ago in Kauniainen And then I go wild. I go to the megapolis, Turku, and find an excellent hill, Samppalinnan Vuori , next to the Aurajoki river in the city center. Seriously, this is really a fun place to ski or snowboard. A steep enough cliff, and enough space between the trees to find your way down. Samppalinnan vuori Am I going to end up in Aurajoki? And really, I want to be serious for a moment. If you follow this blog, you may think that I seek those wonderful places to ski at. Like Snowbowl last week. Actually, I don't. For the most part, I end up in places for other reasons. Last week it was a business trip for my new job. This week a family trip to Moominland. And often I'm at home. But my philosophy is to make best use of the circumstances. Even if it is a grey day, or even if you think you have already tried everything near your home. There is always something interesting to do, even in the most boring and explored place. Remember the president's cliff, an extreme skiing adventure in Moominland? I did that last year on the same family trip. This year it was Raisio's and Turku's turn. I may take a long drive or even an occasional flight to get to where I can have that fun. But I believe in experiencing the environment where you are at. Look around you. Is there something new that you could do tomorrow? They are very polite in Turku If there are skiable hills in Turku and Raisio, there are similar places in every city in Finland. You do not have to wait for that big ski trip to enjoy them. Finland is full of hills and forests and snow. I'm surprised that people do not use them more. Case in point: I made the first tracks on that hill in Turku , a city with almost , inhabitants. People of Turku, you need to join me in my quest to find epic snow in your city center. Moominhouse skiing Photo and video credits c by Jari Arkko. Flagstaff, Arizona. Skiing and pine trees in Arizona? Oh yes. I spent the day following Ben, the ski patrol guy, and Kyle, a base jumper on his off day, through beautiful, dense forests on the steep hills of the Arizona Snowbowl ski area. And sometimes you get lucky. My first ever day skiing in Arizona turned out to be an epic day. A day that stood out even in the minds of the locals, who had not seen such snowfall in recent years. Two to three feet of lightweight powder snow! Arizona Snowbowl is located north of Flagstaff , on the road towards the Grand Canyon. This part of Arizona is on a high plane, the city itself is at 6, feet, and the ski area runs from 9, feet to 11, feet. Had the weather been better I could have also hiked to Agassiz Peak 12, feet or to Humprey's Peak , Arizona's highest mountain 12, feet. The Agassiz chair lift, an old chair lift that takes you from 9, feet to 11, At a very slow pace. But it does bring you to a perfect place. There are plenty of paths down, from straight down to far right and far left. Narrow trails and forest runs. The forests are very dense, so be careful when skiing through them. There are no cliffs, but be aware of 'tree snakes', horizontally laying tree branches and trunks, just under the snow. At the top of the ski lift there is also an option for hiking upwards and to the skier's right, to an area called the Upper Bowl. At the time that I was there, the area was closed, but was accessible if you convinced the ski patrol to join you for safety. Luckily, the ski patrol was quite enthusiastic to join us for some powder skiing. Inquire within the patrol hut. It is also possible to go further out and ski back to the road on the other side of the mountain. Doing this requires a permit from the rangers, who hang out in the bar at the base from am to am. The rumor says that they hang out there the whole day, but I did not find them when I went looking. I did not see any other tourists, foreigners, or even out-of-state visitors on the mountain. There were plenty of students from North Arizona University at Flagstaff, however. I figured Kyle - one of the students - would know about afterski and bars in town. Funnily enough, while Kyle has been into base jumping for a couple of years, as he had turned 21 only a couple of days ago, he did not have much to say about the bar scene. Oh well, it is good that the U. But I also run into the owners of Collin's Irish Pub on the ski slope, and visited their bar downtown later in the evening. This seems like the most active bar in town, and they also have some food on the menu. I recommend the Whisky-soaked bread pudding for dessert. The trail map for the ski area is here. There is no accommodation in the ski area. You should stay in Flagstaff, 15 miles away. There are plenty of varying hotel and motel options. Their prices include breakfast. Saturday, February 9, Vuokatti. But we ended up going to Vuokatti instead. I knew where I wanted to go, as soon as ski area closures, flight availability, wife's non-negotiable requirements, and teenager's changing opinions became clear :- So no new countries this weekend. But it was a very nice trip nevertheless, I love doing father-son trips with Janne. I had never been to Vuokatti, and it was a very nice experience. And I also met my friend Zach, Vuokatti local who showed us the secret powder routes. Forest off-piste with tykkylumi frozen snow in trees Ski Runs Vuokatti is in middle parts of Finland, but the local scenery is right out of Lappland. Tykkylumi, frozen snow covers the trees of the mountain. The mountain itself is small - the maximum vertical difference is only meters. But the ski runs offer some variation, ranging from snowboard parks to easy cruising runs to steep racing runs and twisting paths through the woods. One of the fun parts of the area are the Himskatti, Pirskatti, and Perskatti runs in the east. Did you notice that I just sweared? While everything in Vuokatti is called something -katti, these runs also happen to be four-letter words in the Finnish language. Rather mild ones, though. Perskatti could perhaps be translated directly as 'ass cat' but I'd probably just use 'shit' for all of them. Four-letter words In any case, the four-letter word area opens typically later than the other areas. In fact, we entered it on the first day that it was open this year, so some nice fluffy stuff covered the well-prepared base. They are steep, but still run for a pretty long distance. The western parts are all easy cruising runs. Olympiakatti But the real prize was a new ski run, Slopestyle. This ski run has just been constructed, so it was in use for the first time. Or, technically, it had not been opened yet. But we found some very nice skiing on it. The slope has been formed with bulldozers and rocks to have an interesting profile. As a result, it has a number of extremely steep sections, almost vertical walls. While these are not long, just meters long they are a lot of fun. Skiing this slop in the powder that was covering it was a lot of fun, recommended! Be careful, however. At least in its current, unopened form there are some dangers. Falls, huge blocks of ice, etc. Zach led us on his secret until now! Given that the four-letter word area often stays closed, you can take the north-side lifts but ski the closed runs anyway. There will be no ski lift back, but at the end of Himskatti, if you turn to the woods on the 'Sapporo trail' where the sign is , with minimal hiking you can actually ski through the beautiful woods and return back to the north-side lifts. Aim first for the Caravankatti lift, take it up, and ski down to the base. Further out the forest is far too dense to be skied. But some of these shorts runs look spectacular, as long as you go slowly and navigate carefully. Sunday, February 3, Black in Liechtenstein. Never underestimate the value of cars as ski lifts. Desire to do something new is not enough, you also need an opportunity and a catalyst. This time the opportunity was returning from a ski trip in Austria, with a flight leaving late in the day. And the catalyst was finishing the excess alcohol we had in the cabin. Suddenly I found myself staring at the Google Maps screen. The route via Liechtenstein would be almost the same length as going straight back to the airport in Munich. Why not? Ten minutes later we had changed our plans for the next day. I had a burning desire to ski in a new country, and while the skiing would not be as good as in Austria, it would be a new place. And my friend Teemu was interested in finding local geocaches. The next morning we head out. Patrik, another friend headed for the same flights joins us, trying to survive a flu in the back seat. Subscribe to: Posts Atom. My first snowboard powder tracks, from a week ago in Kauniainen. The Upper Volcano run, one of the trails from Agassiz chair lift. The ski area is between Flagstaff and Grand Canyon. Forest off-piste with tykkylumi frozen snow in trees. Evening lights. Actually, they are also daytime lights. Innovation in progress? The evening before Liechtenstein.
