Snow event "Laskiaisrieha", February 2007

 

Hirvas village association organised a snow event 28th of February 2007. It was the second this snow event was organised. See Hirvas 2006 for more information about the previous "laskiaisrieha" and some facts about the region.
 

It is a finnish tradition to slide down the hill at "laskiaissunnuntai". Hirvas made their own tradition by organising this happening. The sun was shining that day and everyone was enjoying the snow fun and snow constructions. There was a change to try snowcarving, other activities and of course coffee and sausages. The big snow constructions, for example a labyrinth, were made by students from Lapland Vocational College.
