Decades – 
Thirty Years of Ruka Park

The Decades movie celebrates Ruka Park's three decades.

The development of Ruka Park, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, has gone hand in hand with Finnish snowboarding and freeski culture. The Decades movie tells the history of Finland's most famous snow park by wrapping countless stories from three decades into one 45-minute film.

Archival footage combined with today’s top riders creates a story that has not been seen before in Finland. The film is directed by filmmaker Petrus Koskinen.
