• Book passes online on the Ski Pass Baltics app or site: it costs less than the ticket office, and you ski only in your booked session
• Helmets for under-6s are mandatory, and for everyone in the snow park; sledding is not allowed anywhere on the hill
• Mornings ski best, since every slope is groomed overnight and the snow is firmest early

Liepkalnis is the city's largest winter sports center: 10 slopes (2.6 km in all) from one green beginner run up to a black, and 10 lifts. Small children learn on a beginner slope with a magic carpet lift, and the ski school starts skiers at 3 to 4 and snowboarders at 6.

Snow cannons open the slopes once it freezes, and the snow park has 20 to 30 features.
