Overview
First Stage Track
The first stage of the Puijo roller ski track was completed in 2019. The track features a varied layout with rolling terrain, fast bowl turns, and several flatter sections, making it an engaging track for both training and technique development.
Fig. 1. Bowl turns:
The fast descents are particularly well designed: instead of leading directly into difficult corners, they finish with rollers that help naturally reduce speed and add an extra margin of confidence.
Fig. 2. Ski brdige:
The layout is also very flexible and makes it possible to build up confidence gradually. You can make a U-turn at almost any point, allowing you to repeat individual sections at your own pace rather than committing to the entire lap.
The asphalt quality is excellent throughout the track.
