Back in the day, Tusenmetern was the place to be for spring skiing in Åre. Big jumps, slushy turns, sunshine, music, and the occasional makeshift snow bar. If you were there, you know.

Now, a legend is making a comeback. High-altitude skiing, sunny slopes, soft spring snow, and the laid-back atmosphere that makes this time of year so special. Somewhere on the mountain, music blasts from a speaker. A group of friends fires up a grill in the snow. Someone builds an ambitious jump over a snowbank. A natural pool of meltwater suddenly becomes the day's biggest challenge, and before long, everyone wants a turn.

With the newly rebuilt Tusenmetern, one of Åre's most legendary spring skiing hangouts is coming back to life. For generations, skiers have gathered here for freeriding, big jumps, and long afternoons soaking up the sun.

And now it's time to do it all again. For T-shirt skiing, goggle tans, makeshift snow bars, and those final runs of the season. For winter on the mountain and spring in the village.
