On December 7, a renovated ski slope opened in Academgorodok, where lighting was restored and new sound equipment was installed. For ski lovers, the Metelitsa base now has three illuminated courses, 1, 2 and 3 km long. “We live in Akademgorodok, we train here. This is certainly a good ski slope. It was made for athletes, made with good descents and ascents,” Alexey Sokolov, a physical education teacher at the Academic Lyceum, told Rush Hour reporters.
