In 2014, Västerås artificial snow facility at Rocklunda was completed.

Something that made skiing still more accessible, according to Jan Sjöstedt who was chairman of Västerås ski club from 2011 to 2019. 

- Since we got the artificial snow tracks, the snow cover is naturally less noticeable.

What is missing is the ride on the Apalby fence and the track away towards Rönnby.

Which we would have liked to develop, says Jan Sjöstedt.
