While we had some snowfall in the past weeks the usual skiing areas still lack enough coverage in order to prepare all the tracks. Adjusting to the situation I did my research on where to look for the latest information regarding track status (or latutilanne in Finnish..):
- Espoo & Helsinki use the mski service: http://www.mski.fi
- Vantaa updates their own GIS system: http://kartta.vantaa.fi/
- There is an overview of all skiing tracks (based on Openstreetmap): http://www.latukartta.fi/
- And there is even a facebook group to exchange latest information on track status (in Finnish of course…): https://www.facebook.com/Latutilanne

I especially started to enjoy my indoor cycling thanks to the multi-rider functionality and the regular races held online. This way January didn’t look that bad after all and I’m really happy with my start into the new year:
