Interesting bit of mountain operations from RiksgrÀnsen Ski Resort in Sweden where they “storm proof” their chairlifts during severe wind events.
Located 120 miles north of the Arctic Circle, RiksgrÀnsen faces wild windstorms and have developed a technique where they tether their chairs to each other to avoid damage when it is gusty.
If you are ever in Scandinavia during the summer months, check in with RiksgrÀnsen where they usually offer Midsummer skiing under the midnight sun. Make sure to utilize their Relaxen Spa afterwards where you can take a sauna while gazing out over pristine mountaintops “the rugged wilderness and the height of self pampering, you can combine both worlds in our Relaxen spa.”
