In the main square in Östersund . Not just little boys, also little girls shooting down the icy slopes
free snow mogul run for kids

In the main square in Östersund . We would never be allowed to do this in Australia. There would be a big fence, loads of OH&S rules, and a big fee to cover the necessary insurance, because we just cannot stop suing people for our own accidents...

It had a fire inside and tables where you could sit and get warm. I'm guessing this is a Sami type tipi
outdoor cinema!

clearing snow from the rooves

The snow gets so heavy it can destroy the roof, so this has to be done regularly, also from home rooves. There were two men on the roof with shovels, and a bloke down the bottom with a whistle to let them know when people were walking past so they knew when to stop. (The bloke with the whistle seems to be the Swedish equivalent of our man leaning on a shovel holding a stop sign)

I took the photo, they spotted me, and they raised their hands. I thought they were going to flip a finger at me but they waved in a really friendly way. I like it here
