Despite the spring weather, skiers are still on the tracks

Skiers in Estonia continue to hit the artificial snow trails in Tallinn, despite the arrival of spring weather, with some enjoying the fewer crowds on the slopes.

In Estonia, although the spring weather suggests that the ski season may be over, many skiers are still actively using the artificial snow trails in Tallinn. Some enthusiasts continue skiing as they have not yet accepted the end of the season, while others appreciate the quieter tracks with fewer skiers present. The Nõmme ski track remains a popular spot, especially early in the day when the snow is freshly groomed.

Skiing remains a determined activity for many locals, some of whom are preparing for upcoming events such as the JokMok - Nordenskjöldloppet, a 220-kilometer ski marathon taking place on March 28. Competitors like Kuldar Pruus are focused on achieving their training goals, needing to complete over 1,000 kilometers on skis, with still a hundred kilometers left to go at the time of the article. This reflects a commitment to the sport and to personal aspirations, even in less than ideal spring conditions.

Interestingly, skiers have noted that the conditions might be better than expected; skiing on artificial snow can be more enjoyable than on fresh, wet snow. The reduced number of people on the slopes has also been a pleasant aspect mentioned by enthusiasts like Trevor, making the experience of spring skiing both enjoyable and manageable. The adaptability of the skiing community in Estonia highlights their resilience and passion for the sport, regardless of the changing seasons.
