Hey from Finland

[Matt Tunkelo]

Hey,

I am Matt, 28 years old live in Helsinki, Finland.

I have found a new passion in skiing and find it fun and a good work out, I hope it will also help to build muscle strength and fitness as I have a mild muscle condition.

Welcome Matt!

Awesome to see new skiers join. Are you new to it this year? Planning to only ski in Finland... or taking a trip somewhere?

This is the first year I am interested in skiing becoming a hobby, I did some downhill skiing in Sweden 3 years ago for a few days, and I enjoyed it.

Now I am living in Helsink and have a car, I have two local small resorts within a hours drive, which I visted yesterday and decided skiing is something I would like to do more often.

I would like to try some resorts in Finland (Levi) which is in the North too.

I would like to travel to Austria and Canada when my skills become better and I improve.

Hi @Matt Tunkelo & welcome as well! You've found a great community of skiers.

Some of my favorite skiers are Finnish & they put videos out as Real Skifi, https://www.youtube.com/user/RealSkifi

You might have heard of them, but if not they are incredibly creative & fun to watch, plus unlike me you'll be able to catch what they are saying!

Peace.

Welcome, kind of a similar journey started skiing about 3 years ago myself. Trying to get the hang of those blues soon.

Have a happy new year!
