Go take a trips with a...

by jarto

Go take a trips with a snowscooter and a dog sledge. You can take daytrips or longer trips lasting for example a whole week. We took a daytrip with dog sledges. First we got proper guiding on driving them and picked our own dogs. Then off we went with a guide. It's just wonderful to drive the dogs in the middle of vast emptyness. I enjoyed the silence which you don't get on a snowscooter.In this pic we're having a little break. That's me thanking my dogs for a job well done. The guy to the right was out guide.
