LONG TIME NO SEE..

Maaan, how busy has the last few weeks been !??!

March is over half way through and we are up to the ears in work. The blog is fifth or sixts priority, and the blog is for sure the only thing with a standstill in this period.

The long-tour seasson is just starting for real. From yesterday the dogs will be out total of five days. The clients are 11 students and one teacher from a nature-photography-study in Åland islands, Finland.

I have also had some enjoyable wholeday trips lately. First one with eight guests where we went in quite strong winds to Vinstervann and the cabin we rent, Grønnolstølen.

The other trip some days later, starting here at the farm since the weatherforecasts promised snow and wind. It was sunny and calm all day. We enjoyd the magic of the forest for the day, taking good time to prepare a superb cheese/local ham warm sandwich lunch =)

The BIG news of the last few weeks is our new and super cool office in the centre of Beitostølen.

200 Smtrs will be filled with info and interactive displays of all activities available here at Beitostølen. We have rented the office together with Beito Aktiv. We aim to open new markedparts with this new office. The work to make it an atraction will start for real when the biggest highseasson is over. Come and visit us!

Even Elisa has been Outdoors !! =)

Between working we have followed both Iditarod and Finnmarksløpet with great excitement. Most of the best mushers of the world has been competing in theese two races.

Iditarod, the longest race in the world, takes place in Alaska from Anchorage to Nome - 1850 km! This year we finally saw a native alaskian win the race. John Baker reached Nome first.

In Finnmarksløpet Roger Dahl from Alta won impressivley. Runners up was Sigrid Ekran - Robert Sørlie and Gorm Engen. We are still waiting for the rest of the field to reach Alta and the finnishline. We are a little proud here as well. Gorm Engen, our good friend and "neighbour" ran the race of his life and finnished at a impressive 4th place. Congratulations especially to you Gorm!

We are now turning our eyes to the spring seasson. We are still waiting impatiently for the snow to settle, and make it easier to go whereever we want in the mountains. At this point the snow is still very soft and the dogs are "swimming". Soon it will change!

We are planning puppies and now we await Loba to get into heat.

Summer programme is coming out soon.

New homepage are still under construction.

One new dog has arrived, Loke . He comes from our friends Marit and Susanna.

We pray for lots of heavy snowfall the next two weeks. That will be needed in the end of spring!
