Surprisingly busy evening at the Peuramaa ski resort today. A Wednesday. Maybe there's tourists from a bit further up Finland who still have ski vacations this week? Or was it the race event that they were having. Anyway, our company ski club was having an event ... that's why we were there. Nice! Superb slopes, very nice to run on the well prepared snow surfaces, and enjoy the (cold) sunshine.
When the sun set, the temperature went down from -2 to -8. Brr.
Fortunately the ski club had organized hot chocolate and (soy) sausages. Nice.
And what a massively long magic carpet! Usually these are short lifts, but this one goes from the bottom to the top of the hill. Granted, the hill is not that big but still. And interestingly, they had two heavy-duty blowing heaters along the track, why? To remove snow? Maybe the carpet freezes or gets too mushy if they don't do this? Interesting...
Nice evening overall.
