God bless Saint Urho…

Recently documented as the happiest people on earth, Finns were positively giddy on March 16th as they celebrated Saint Urho, the holy woodsman and Shaman who drove grasshoppers from the land of the Sami and saved the first Finnish grape harvest. In honor of his Finnish heritage, groomer Davinius flattened the Trail to the Lake, Over the Hill, Wapiti and South Loop at the Alturas Lake Ski Area before joining the pretty girl from the village for some feelia and fish soup. As they consumed two bottles of Chateauneuf du Urho, a foot of new snow covered the trails and any sign that grooming had taken place. Davinius didn’t really care, he was happy as could be!
