As of 26.11, snow production is proceeding as planned. Production will resume on Wednesday afternoon when temperatures are below -4°C. It looks like it will warm up again on Friday morning.

There is some reduced capacity for compressed air in Vestlia due to a broken motor on one compressor (under warranty).

Havsdalen Status:

Arne-løypa (41) – Snow production is nearly complete, but there is not enough snow in the track. Aiming to open for training groups on 29. November and for all guests on 7. December.
Children's Area (43) – Snow production has started but is not yet finished. Working towards opening in week 50.
Fjellheisen with trails – Fjellheisen will open with natural snow. There is no snow production system here, and significant natural and driven snow is required to open. Aiming to open the 45 Fjelløypa and 47 Havsdalsløypa by Christmas, but cannot guarantee it. Even with lots of natural snow, it will be heavily compacted by snowcats (1 meter of snow will become approximately 15 cm). A minimum of 30-40 cm of compacted snow is needed to open.

Summary: Arneløypa is "finished" but narrow, so additional snow will be added. Opening for all guests is expected on 7. December. The children's area is expected to open in week 50. Fjellheisen depends on natural and driven snow in the snow catchers. Status will be updated continuously.

Park Status:

Trollbakken (57) – Snow production has started. Working towards opening on 11.12 with some park elements.
Geiloparken Kikut – Expecting to open with more elements by Christmas.
Geiloparken Vestlia – Expecting to open one big jump by 20. December (but needs cold weather).
SlaattaParken – Status to be updated later.
