| New ski trails are being prepared at
Saima for the coming season
The new trail addition starts and ends on the Athletic Field, and
will add some hilly terrain, to complement our existing trails.
You can see part of the trail and the terrain on the following
pictures, taken on November 3, 2001 during the preparation of the
trail. All pictures courtesy of Karl Makela.
