SkiStar, a company that runs Scandinavia’s biggest resorts, has worked with dry slop surface manufacturer Neveplast to create SkiStar SummerSki, a new 470-meter long dry ski slope in the heart of Stockholm. With an overall skiable surface of 9,000 square meters, the slope is one of Europe’s longest and largest slopes by area. The opening is scheduled for Sep. 7.
The investment aims to further expand the number of skiing days per year in Sweden. The new slope, which is served by a ski lift, has been designed with variable gradients in order to suit both less experienced skiers and athletes in training. Neveplast, headquartered near Bergamo, Italy, was previously the supplier of the dry ski-slope project on the rooftop of the Amager Bakke energy plant in Amager, Copenhagen, also known as Copenhill. The new 470-square-meter slope in Stockholm was built using Neveplast’s NP30 Freeski, a material that is very similar to natural snow.
