For users of the first snow track…
First snow should be made available to skiers
substitute tracks when the competition tracks are closed. A simple loop through the "old bubble hall" - Saimaa Atlas is not suitable for everyone, especially when there are no tracks. Also on the so-called. Spa loop, as well as on the Ukonlinna loop, there is 10 - 15 cm of snow on the groomed sections. Note! A season ticket is paid for the right to use the first snow track.
Hi, thanks for your message!…
Hi, thank you for your message! The responsibility for marketing and communications of the Games lies with the organizer of the Games, the Imatra Athletes. However, the city has been supporting the communication of the Games through its own channels.
The city has made a press release about the competition at the end of December, which has also been shared on the city's Facebook account and in the Instagram story section. Social media content from the competition organizers has also been shared in the story section.
In addition, advertisements for the games have been running on the city's electronic screens in both Imatra and Ruokolahti since the beginning of December. Materials and posts related to the games have also been shared on the first snow track's social media accounts.
More detailed and up-to-date race information can be found here. From the Imatra Athletes website.
This is already a tough class...
These are already tough competitions. Has the work advertised these competitions anywhere? I just saw that the track there is closed. I'm glad I happened to google it. Otherwise I wouldn't have known that these competitions were taking place there.
It has been well advertised again…
It's been well advertised again..😬No one has ever said that these competitions would be coming here.
