Väsjöbacken reviews

Terribly arrogant treatment by ski rental staff. Will choose other facilities in the future. Do not recommend!

Hidden little gem in Stockholm. Mountain feeling at home. Good all year round, downhill skiing with a mountain bike or if you want to walk or run up the hill.

Good slope especially when it is freshly piste.

+ Good and large park
+ good red slopes
+ good for intermediate skiers
+ curvy paths

Congestion and queues already at the end of January, but the webcam was (and is) constantly off = difficult to check the queue mode before ... Some gravel at the bottom, despite limited opening hours.

It is cumbersome to load your SkiData card on the web, you have to fill in everything unnecessary except for waist measurements (no idea if they follow the EU GDPR).

Hard but a little rocky as normal in Väsjöbacken. Good to have a pair of skis you are not so afraid of ... (or rent their maybe ...)
Sad that they did not pick the clean hill a bit ...

Perfect place on the sports holiday, when the rest of Stockholmers are in Åre. Cred to the staff who are struggling to make snow, fix Stockholm's best park and grill the best burgers.

Season 2011

+ Located in Stockholm
+ Quiet round turn backe especially in spring
+ Väsjöburgaren

- Slalom competitions in the middle back ALWAYS forget about the downhill
- Yellowish box halogen lighting is like a leopard pattern on the slope
- Sick ice park that probably harvests some victims each year
- Isely Opistat Big Jump

"Many go slalom in the jumpback, which results in their failure in the lift queue.
----------------------------
+ Very good park.
+ Many features in the park, ex bonk tunnels, boxes, rails, mailboxes.
+ Great commitment of staff.
+ Sweden's goodest burger.
+ Close, short travel time there if you live in the Stockholm area.
+ Nice staff.
+ Good light at night skiing.

World-class.

Väsjöbacken is a good hill near Stockholm.

this year, the four backs are open. 2 a little more difficult (one of them "parkbacken") and then a family backpack with medium jump. The fourth hill is a bit more offpiste, but still good if you like to go skiing, etc. In the park there are 4 rails, and a very good big jump. In the family back there are 4 jumps, one halfpipe (if you can even call it, it's fail) and 2 rails.
Railsen is of high quality, as well as the jump.

The negative is that the slopes are very short, it takes about 1 minute to go down the hill in the "medium".
The lifter works fine, but stays very often because of. ignorant rider who falls or drops the elevator in the wrong way. The back is very good for being in a metropolitan area, but can not be compared to eg lindvallen and other major ski resorts


4.5 / 5

Väsjöbacken is a small slalom hill near Stockholm (sollentuna). There are several positive things but the hill, which has about 80 meters in fall height. There are mainly 3 backs, 2 on the front and one side. A fourth back that is a little more offpiste is, but the back's "road" is very narrow but still quiet.

One of the slopes on the front is the "park". The park has a big jump and 4 rails. The big jump is quite big and it takes a lot of speed to manage the jump well.
The other back of the front is the slalom boot. The back is quite short, and there is also Sollentuna's slalom club.
The back of the page is the family back. It has 2 medium jump, 5 rails, one failed halfpipe and nothing more.

+ good big jump
+ easy box rail to work out
+ good for staying in metropolitan area
The medium sized jumps in the family backpack are fun
+ good lighting
+ an anchor lift, and a button lift

short traces
-a lot of people
-ca 150kr for lift passes
- It takes about 15 seconds to go down the hill, and approx. 5 min up if you expect a queue in the elevator.
