New year, new adventures
by Northernmost on January 27, 2011 in Daily life, Gemma, Titan, Tuisku with No CommentsIt’s our first winter in our new home in Sweden. The fall was a busy time, we spent nearly every evening and weekend building pens, dog houses and creating a big playarea for the dogs. Now, when all the work is finally done, we have time to enjoy the best of winter – February, March and April!
The village where we live is situated only a couple of miles from the coast which means we enjoy a fairly mild climate and get plenty of snow. With a dump of fresh snow nearly every day this winter the trails are smooth, soft and not too fast - ideal conditions for skijoring with a team of eager Malamutes!

Looks like we will be having plenty of snow this winter.
You can see our two locations on the map; Nedre Bäck in the north of Sweden, and the village of Hetta in Finnish Lapland in the north of Finland.
