Fathersday 11.11.2007, Isosyöte just opened

Ahh, nice break from the office hours and, ahem, family life

Best slopes are always marked with this sign and behind fences, right?

30 cm of fresh snow

Only one on the closed slope?

Nah, he just got company...

After three hours on the small slope I went to see if the ground work on the real slopes was any good. Syöte people said they only cut down the bushes. Good news for us who mostly don't ski on the open slopes. This pic is from slope 4 half way up and there was about 30 cm of snow. Another 15-20 cm and the whole place is skiable. Yes, rock here and there but no pain, no game etc. 50 cm is all this base needs in my opinion.

View down.

Midle lift line next to slope 4 about to open with really good conditions!

Action shot from the bottom of the lift line.

My signature line with quite short turns. Excellent start for the season. Definitely worth the 180 meter vertical climb.

Door swamped close to the Iso-Syöte top.

Winter scenery on the way home.
