A New Favourite Place

by Northernmost on March 16, 2015 in ACTIVITIES & WORK, Favourite Photos, Hilary, Lyra, Skijoring & Sledding, Tuisku, Wilder with No Comments

While winter might be nearing its end here on the coast, there is still plenty of snow in “Fjällen” – the mountains of northwestern Sweden. We love to explore new spots in the mountains and our latest discovery is the village of Stora Blåsjön in northernmost Jämtland – a place almost too beautiful to be real. We visited Stora Blåsjön last weekend together with Tuisku, Lyra, Hilary and Wilder and had a great time skijoring on the fantastic trails in the area. There are mountains in every direction and you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to trails, as this is a paradise for both dog people and snowmobilers. Next time we need to stay longer as there is still so much to explore – I can imagine that this place is stunning in summer too!

Snowmasses

After a dull winter on the coast it was amazing to be surrounded by glistening, white snow again.

Fresh trailWe headed out early in the mornings, and had the trails to ourselves.

Weekend in Stora BlåsjönThere wasn’t a cloud in the sky and it had snowed heavily a couple of days before our arrival, so everything looked absolutely picture perfect.

Neewa harnessesWe really like our new Neewa harnesses from Baggen, they are a perfect fit for our Malamutes!

DownhillSkijoring with a Nordic pulk in a downhill involves controlling your skis, poles and lines, while at the same time pressing down the hand break as hard as you can. It takes practice to get it all right!

Sleeping TuiskuTuisku knows how to make the most of a break – he curls up into a ball until it’s time to go again.

Lyra in the snow
Lyra is good at camping too – she attacks the snow with her front paws until a perfect bed is formed.
