22 december The rest of the ski area opens, the scale is controlled by snow and weather
We have chosen not to have any specific date for the opening of our skilifts up at Åreskutan 
(previously the date was around 5 February for the "Cable Car" (29), "Tusenmetersliften"(28), "Tväråvalvsliftarna" (25,26,27) and "Stendalsliften"(24)).
We will do our best to open as many lifts as possible from 22 December onwards. 
Weather conditions and snow conditions can vary greatly, especially on top of Åreskutan but we hope to start earlier than usual on top of Åreskutan.
