Ulla is retiring at 2:00 today after decades of being Miss Ulla. So you would think she would relax last evening. 🥰 Hah! #retirement #teaching #retirement #expoelementary
This is how you treat snow removal and trail maintenance like a customer service exercise rather than a snow removal exercise. And guess what, it works.
Our super class maintenance contractor @OulunKonetyo is today again arranging a pathside event, this time at the new #Kembaana bicycle superhighway in Hollihaka, #Oulu, collecting feedback from the very users and offering snacks 🤗

The #Oulu way: NO salt. Only mechanical snow plowing, to a thin hard-packed snow layer. By thin I mean THIN. Then there'll be no problems with freeze and thaw. You just must keep it thin throughout winter. Yes,that sometimes means a lot of plowing. No shortcuts. Perfect quality👌
