Day program @ Saarua 7.-8.10.
Arctic Weekend 2022 offers skiers a real treat, as the day program of the event allows you to test and purchase new equipment in Finland's largest test center, as well as participate in riding sessions and workshops on the first-snow slopes of Ruka.
Haglöfs Village is the home of Arctic Weekend's day programs. The Village has Finland's largest test center and a AW stage, where during the day you can hear the feelings of the upcoming season from both the riders and the partners of the event.
At the Master of Arctic Weekend sessions, it will be determined who are the real champions in their own area! All you have to do is ride trough the spot while the sessions are running and you're in. Individual performances are rewarded and at the end of each session, the main prize goes to the best woman and man.
Evening program @ Restaurant Piste 7.-8.10. 20-04
The aim of the evenings is to create a varied and inspiring menu for those interested in winter sports. The evenings combine the different genres of skiing and snowboarding culture together, so everyone who visits the event has the opportunity to be inspired by the moments that they feel are important to them.
In addition to comprehensive presentations and panel discussions, the latest film projects are presented and the start of the new season is celebrated at an evening party.
Evenings start at 8:00 PM and end at 4:00 AM. The age limit is 18 years.
DIY movie night @ Hanki Baari 8.10. 19-20
DIY is an informative, often short description of how to complete or build something yourself. Arctic Weekend's DIY movie night is a contribution to exactly this attitude and dedication in the field of video projects. Without the support of DIY movies, the culture of the genre would not develop and the opportunity for many talented riders or video makers to show works that are personally important to them would be limited.
DIY movie night's projects have been selected from various genres. Arctic Weekend supports both freestyle and back country snowboarding and skiing related DIY projects. Whether they are informative or full of firecrackers!
Free entry. Open to all ages.
