Comments from the CEO

Early snow and cold have enabled us to open all our ski resorts earlier than in the previous year and everything is in place for good skiing conditions over Christmas and the New Year. Bookings for the next winter season are 1 percent higher than at the same point in the previous year. Bookings for Christmas week are slightly down due to fewer days off, while bookings for the weeks between New Year and the winter break, and the winter break itself, are up on the previous year. The period after the winter holidays shows a decline in bookings as a result of the late Easter, which means later booking patterns. We should also bear in mind that last year’s bookings at the same point in time were the strongest ever. About 80 percent of the season’s estimated accommodation sales have already been booked.

The modern new Skihytta Express chairlift in Trysil is opening soon. The new lift will significantly improve our Trysil guests’ comfort and experience. For the 2017/18 season, we have decided to build a new gondola lift in St. Johann with snowmaking systems at adjacent slopes for a total of EUR 17 million. The investment brings St. Johann a greatly improved ski product for beginners, children and more advanced skiers. We still await a positive decision from the EU concerning public funding for Scandinavian Mountains, the airport between Sälen and Trysil. The schedule for the first planes to land in December 2018 remains unchanged.

We confidently look forward to another good winter season at our destinations in Sweden, Norway and now Austria as well.
