Year-End Report September 2022-August 2023.
Climate change will have a direct and significant impact on SkiStar operations in the future, as white, cold winters are a prerequisite for winter operations. To ensure that efforts to reduce climate impacts are sufficient, climate targets have been developed to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, in line with the SBTi methodology, which has now approved the targets.
SKISTAR INTERIM REPORT SEPTEMBER 2022-MAY 2023. "The lower operating profit in the quarter is mainly driven by a decline in revenue and one-off costs. For the coming winter we have a booking rate of +5 percent", says Stefan Sjöstrand, CEO, in a comment.
Now, as we summarise two-thirds of the winter season and SkiStar’s second important quarter for the 2022/23 financial year, we see continued growth in the core business operation with a record turnover of SEK 2.5 billion (+8%) after the first six months of the year, despite the economic situation and challenging times. We can also report a very good second quarter.

Comments from the CEO Stefan Sjöstrand: March 2020 was the month that shook not only the world, but SkiStar too, as the spread of the new coronavirus left no-one unaffected. Announcements that our operations in both Norway and Austria had been forced to close were followed by Sweden’s Public Health Agency advising us to also close the Swedish resorts.
Comments from the CEO Stefan Sjöstrand: The spread of the new Coronavirus has not passed anyone unnoticed. On 12 March, we received Norwegian municipal announcements that our operations in both Hemsedal and Trysil had to be closed down. As always, health and safety is our main priority, so the focus has been on employees and guests.
Comments from the acting CEO Anders Örnulf Winter came early with both cold and snow at all destinations, enabling good snowmaking conditions and an early start to the season and ensuring that our resorts are in fantastic condition for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The Board of Directors of SkiStar has appointed Stefan Sjöstrand as President and CEO as from 11 June 2020 at the latest.
Smart cameras that capture your jumps in the park on film, Valle's ski school for children and daycare on the slopes. This is just some of the news from the ski tour operator SkiStar for the coming winter season, where the focus is on young people, a new modern express lift in Trysil and especially a whole new family ski resort in the Alps, St Johann.
SkiStar is now launching its first destination in the Alps. St. Johann in the Austrian Tyrol can be booked at skistar.com. The venture is the first step in establishing a ski travel company in the Alps.
We have experienced another good winter season that has helped deliver a strong financial year with increased profit and exceeded financial targets. The number of skier days increased by 4 percent to 5.1 million, while the number of booked overnight stays increased by 5 percent to 524,000, says Mats Årjes, CEO at SkiStar.
SkiStar is launching its first new offer for guests since adding St. Johann, Austria to its range of ski resorts. Starting from winter 2016/2017, the Tyrolean ski resort of St. Johann will be included in SkiStar's season skipass, MySkiStar All.
SkiStar has signed an agreement and will, through a rights issue, become the majority shareholder in the Austrian ski resort of St. Johanner Bergbahnen GmbH. SkiStar will pay a share issue proceeds of EUR 10 million and thus become the owner of 68 % stake in the company.
We are embarking on the 2015/16 season with great confidence. The season has now opened at all of our destinations and we’re looking forward to welcoming our guests for the Christmas and New Year holidays. Booking volumes are still up 12 percent on the same time last year, and all weeks up until Easter have higher booking levels compared to the previous year, says Mats Årjes CEO.
