The past two winters have been successful ones for Swedish ski resorts. As a result, they are now planning investments of nearly 900 million Swedish kronor (€98.7m-$137.0m) for the 2011-12 ski season, reports Sportfack. The investments will come in the form of new lifts, improved snowmaking, expansion of ski paths and additional resort housing facilities. Many of the investments will take place in the popular alpine skiing region of Jämtland, but other ski areas throughout the country will also see major improvements. In the 2010-11 season, Swedish ski resorts sold ski passes for a total of 1.2 billion SEK (€131.6m-$182.7m).
