Still No Snow

Winter is here with first time -20° this morning 🥶👏 and while most people turn around in their beds and take the blanket a bit closer around their bodies we go out and are happy. These temperatures mean that the lakes are freezing and also the swamps that usually safe a lot of warmth in the ground and hopefully also the smaller water steams that don’t appear that difficult like a big lake but in reality it needs more icy temperatures to freeze the running water to a safe level to cross it with the sleds. 

But one part of winter is still missing: the snow ❄️ we had a bit of snow last week but on Friday and Saturday it was plus degrees and raining… and after that we have perfect conditions for ice skating but not for training. A huge part of our trails are pure ice so we are forced to do a break in the training. Maybe some parts would work, but of course you need to get there first and that’s the problem. Even if you put the dogs in the trailer and drive a bit, we still have icy forest roads or the trails are very short so that it doesn’t make sense to go there. And you have to keep in mind that the dogs are on a good training level, so you don’t win anything with bad training now but you risk serious injuries when you let them run on ice. Almost every autumn you have this time, when you have a week that you can’t train and you just need to be patient until the conditions are getting better… patience – not my strength 😂🙈 anyway, we do the best out of it, spend a lot of time in the free run or on walks and we even had time to catch the sunset over Glommersträsk 😊

Winterwonderland

Today some impressions from yesterday‘s run in our winterwonderland. 

After the last snow storm the trail is very deep but the dogs (and musher 😉) enjoy it so much. You can read in their faces, they love to be out together. 

And one picture from today, finally we did the frozen water picture 🙂

Do what makes you happy

Winter has finally arrived 😃 The last days we had temperatures down to minus 20 degrees 🥶 and also some more snow ❄️ Actually, we had the biggest snow depth of whole Sweden yesterday 🤩

It’s still not so much but enough for short runs with the sled 🐕-🐕-🐕—🛷 

When our puppies joined the first time last weekend we realized that the harnesses we had planned for them were still a bit too big… or puppies too small 😉 so, we wrote an email to Axaeco and right in time the new harnesses were in our post box yesterday. Thank you, Henry, for the super fast service. The new harnesses are looking great and it seems also Luna and Stella are proud to wear them…

We are anyway really proud of our puppies. They are definitely born to be a sled dog. You put them on the line, they stand „line out“ (means holding the line straight) waiting for the command to start and then they just go. The first video is right after the start from our yard, crossing our neighbours yard. Next pictures are from the trail, enjoying our winterwonderland. 

After coming home they get a little snack and as you see the whole team including the puppies is waiting patiently until the snacks are cut 😋

And last but not least some nice pictures from Arvidsjaur and Akkanålke mountain.
