Ups and downs... and up again!

This is the first post for a long time. The first couple of month in the autumn 2011, I drove my dogs a large number of kilometers. But tragically I lost my father in late november, and the sorrow made me loose all joy and interest in the goals I had set up for me and my dogs. I settled on keeping them in good shape and started training the puppies around Christmas for shorter runs.
Their joy and happiness, and the fact, that good friends from Denmark came visiting us withe their dogs, made me start struggle to get "back on the track".
So in late march, I managed to do the Beaver Trap Trail with only two dogs. I did it the nordic way; on skies after a pulka pulled by the dogs. This was the first time, I did this distance; more than 100 kilometres on skies, and the satisfaction of doing this has lit the fire in me again, and up until now the dogs has at least 600-700 kilometers in their paws.
Snow is still here, and I have bought a pair of new Salomon-skies. I intend to twist the winter for every bit of winter-joy :-)
I'll start collecting links, that has been a great help to me regarding sledding and skiing.
I'll also post some of the photos I took from the Beaver Trap Trail.


So I still hope You will find it interesting looking at my blogg!
