Asle-løypa (59) – The slope is open. Asle-løypa is a training venue for sports teams and may be closed at times. The Pre-Christmas Cup will be held Thursday-Sunday this week (week 50). We aim to keep it open for the public until 1:00 PM during the holiday period.

Summary: Vestlia is open every day for all guests. Eiva-løypa and Trollbakken with park elements are open for everyone. We hope to open Trollklubben and the lower Bjødnaløypa on Saturday, December 14th. We are on track for a successful Christmas season!

Kikut Status:

Kikutløypa (68) – Snow production has started in the lower section, aiming for opening on December 14th.

Eventyrløypa (66) – Snow production has not started yet.
Davidløypa (63) – Snow production has started, and snow has been laid below the drop. We are uncertain about opening on December 14th due to the operating permit for the reconstruction of the Top Lift. We're keeping our fingers crossed.
Guroløypa (64) – Snow production has not started yet.
Hufsa children's area (61) – Snow production has started.

Summary: We are aiming to open the Kikut lift and slopes down to Vestlia on Saturday, December 14th. Otherwise, we are on track for Christmas and are hoping for cold weather to allow for park elements in Kikut Park.

Halstensgård Status:

Ølkorken (11) – Snow production has not started yet.
Steinspretten (12) – Will open as a powder snow trail once there is enough natural snow.

Summary: Fugleleiken (chairlift) is on track to open for Christmas, but we need several more days of cold weather before Christmas to complete snowmaking on the lift course in Halstensgårdheisen and the "field" down to the Halstensgård Café. We expect to open all the way down by Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Anne-løypa (36) –

Summary: Please contact Slaatta Skisenter for an update. Planned opening dates will be provided later.

Havsdalen Status:

Arne-løypa (41) – Arne-løypa is open with good conditions. Some training is taking place on the left side (driving direction), but it is separated with netting.
Barneområde (43) – The children's area around the magic carpet is finished and open. The opening of the children’s lift has been delayed as we are waiting for documentation for the replacement of the rope/steel wire. It is expected to open during week 51.
Fjellheisen with trails – Fjellheisen will open with natural snow. There is no snowmaking facility here, so a significant amount of natural snow and drift snow is needed to open. We hope to open Fjelløypa (45) and Havsdalsløypa (47) by Christmas, but this cannot be guaranteed. Even with a lot of natural snow, it compresses significantly when packed by the snow groomer (1 meter of snow becomes about 15 cm). A minimum of 30-40 cm of compacted snow is required to open.

Summary: Arne-løypa and the children's magic carpet are open every day for guests. Havsdalskroa is open. We are slightly behind with the children's area. Fjellheisen and the surrounding area still lack a lot of snow, primarily drift snow from the west. We are uncertain about the opening here for Christmas.

Park Status:

Trollbakken (57) – Open with park elements.
Geiloparken Kikut – Expected to open by Christmas.
Geiloparken Vestlia – Expected to open the first jump by December 20th (but needs cold weather).
