In Tampere's Kauppi Sports Park, the deployment of artificial snow for skiing routes has begun today. This action is an early step in kicking off the ski season in the Tampere area. The ski track will measure approximately 800 meters, according to Mikko Heinonen, the sports manager of the city of Tampere.

The exact opening date for the ski track will be announced later, and it will depend on the rapidity of the ongoing operations. Citizens are urged to exercise caution as machinery is working in the area.

Additionally, preparations for other winter activities are also underway in Tampere. Artificial ice rinks in areas like Sorsapuisto and Koulukatu have had their refrigeration systems activated and are being prepared for the upcoming season.

Residents can check for updates on the status of the tracks as the ski season begins through the external conditions service provided by the city of Tampere.
