My first visit to the Sappee ski resort east of Tampere. It looks like a great ski hill, and had a nice run. Or maybe a half of a run. May have to return when they are open, I was told to leave the closed ski hill. This is understandable of course. But I wasn't so happy about being chased by the snow cat.
It wasn't that I was trying to run away. I understood they wanted to come and tell me to get out :-) but the driver seemed to want to make a point by coming very close with the cat, with some speed. At first I though he didn't see me, and I waved my arms, expecting him to stop. But he didn't, and when I moved a few meters to the side, he turned towards me.
Fortunately, he did stop in the end.
Great snow, great weather, great lights, great ski resort though...
