Downhill skiing in Lithuania is about to become possible even in summer – a new indoor skiing facility is set to go up in Druskininkai.
Lithuania’s economy ministry has announced 40 million litas in funding towards the complex, to be built in the southern resort town near Lithuania’s border with Poland.
Plans call for a slope 53 to 63 metres wide and 412 metres long, which would rank it at the upper end of indoor skiing facilities in terms of slope length.
The ministry projects that the complex would attract up to 146,000 visitors per year, which would make it one of the more popular indoor skiing venues in Europe.
The closest indoor slopes are in Hamburg and Moscow.
Financing for the project is coming from EU infrastructure funds, and the building must be finished by 2013.

The Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra led by the conductor Gintaras Rinkevičius and Aleksandr Antonenko, the superstar form Latvia and one of the most famous and most charismatic tenors, are ready to make the last evenings of the year 2009 a joyful event. The Lithuanian audiences know the singer from his performance in 2006 when he sang at the premiere of Shostakovich’s opera at the Congress Concert Hall. In 2007, he performed the part of passionate Rodolfo in “Boheme.” The distinguished Latvian tenor Kārlis Zariņš has said that Antonenko is his successor. Antonenko who sings parts of counter tenor and tenor started his brilliant career with the Latvian Opera Choir. Several years later, he performed in “Don Juan,” “Eugene Onegin,” “The Flying Dutchman,” „Boheme” and other parts. His international career started in 2004 and now he is probably the best-known Latvian tenor and a guest performer at the world’s best theatres. This year he debuted at the Metropolitan Opera House with the part of Prince in Dvorak’s “Mermaid” against the legendary Renée Fleming. This evening his partner is Sandra Janušaitė, a soloist with the Lithuanian Opera.
