Olympic champion, overall winner of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Cup Veronica Stepanova said activists can relax after investors refused to finance the Malinovka ski center in the Arkhangelsk region.
Previously, the ULK group of companies, whose CEO is businessman Vladimir Butorin, announced that it would no longer sponsor ski races in the Arkhangelsk region.
— The compilations excluded seriously amateur skiers in the Arkhangelsk forest. Recently, we came to Malinovka four or five times a year, occupied hotels and sometimes highways. Did this make anyone feel like a “second-class skier”? We have the impression that this is the cause of the conflict.
Malinovka had the chance to become the best professional ski center in the country, but now the word “professional” will have to be crossed out at least. It costs hundreds of millions of rubles and is designed for the most demanding and, in their free time from prefabricated days, the most solvent. About the same as Laura/Polyana 1389. The slope is not overgrown for amateur skiers who are also willing to pay.
Activists who threw themselves under a tankette in Malinovka last month can relax: the tanker without money and the factory’s capabilities will be permanently abandoned. Google how much a new PistenBully 400 costs and you’ll see why.
But professionals will no longer hinder amateur skiers. I hope that the quality of the trails created by the Bourane snowmobile will satisfy the remaining demand. It is difficult for me to imagine what will happen to the world’s best asphalt of Malinovka roller ski slopes in a few years. But it’s easy to predict that the planned high-end gym won’t see the light of day in the near future, just like the stadium, restaurants and another hotel…
The local SSHOR kids will lose. Without public-private partnerships, it is extremely difficult for ski schools. Believe me, for many years now, since I achieved success on the ski slope, I have been signing letters of gratitude to the patrons of children’s skiing. Best regards, by the way. Try to buy Helium or S2 with budget money – and you shouldn’t buy skis for 100 thousand with budget money. They bought it from me until the manufacturer offered me a personal contract,” Stepanova wrote in a column on the website.
