The Slope Briefing

[Updated Mon 30.3.2026 at 20.45]

All slopes and lifts open – Ski Season ends on Fri 3.4.2026!

All Parra’s slopes are covered with cannon snow and they are maintained daily with the slope machine, ”the snow cat”. Snow is still being moved from storage piles for the last days of skiing.

The weather is now quite normal for March, warm during the day, sometimes a little rain – and a little frost at night. The night frosts allow the snow to be moved from the storage piles to where it is needed.

Warm weather in winter is no surprise. At Parra we take this into account, which is why we make large amounts of cannon snow every year – much more than many other ski resorts. Cannon snow is very resistant to warm weather and even rain!

The slope surface can be somewhat soft, especially at several plus degrees, but even then the skiing is smooth because the compact snow layer cools from below. Since the slopes are prepared with a slope machine, they don’t become icy either.

There are now a total of four larger rails in the snowparks – three on Easy, ’Loiva’ and one on Steep, ’Jyrkkä’. The large jump has a ”nose”. There are also two smaller practice jumps on the ’Loiva’ slope. For the very little ones, there is a mini rail and a mini jump on the Little Slope.

The Sled Hill is also covered with cannon snow, and is taken care of by the snow cat, just like the slopes.

Welcome to the slopes!

The cross-country ski trails are maintained by the municipality of Teuva. The cannon snow track (1.7 km) is still in use. The other tracks were covered with natural snow and have already been closed. You can see the current condition of the trails on the Ulkoilukaveri-service (in Finnish).
