Every year, we have our own little First Snow Bet Every year, we have our own little First Snow Bet within the team❄️

Everyone gets to make their guess on when the first snow will fall here in Slussfors — and when we’ll be able to take the sleds out for the first time.

And, as always, we cover a wide range — from optimists to realists... 😅

What’s your guess?

What a great weekend in Kiruna! It was good to see What a great weekend in Kiruna! It was good to see that so many came and a lot of fun meeting all the mushers! We had fun checking out new gear for our dogs and sleds and listened to some great keynotes. "Especially listening to @jessieholmes_teamcantstop and @haraldtunheim who are doing things in a similar way, I am doing things. When they started talking, I could just feel what they were talking about."

We are already looking forward to the next Symposium!

We were honestly a bit speechless when we realised We were honestly a bit speechless when we realised these figures. 🥹

Almost 30% of our bookings currently come from guests who have stayed with us before — returning for a second, third or, in some cases, even a fourth time!

Some come back with the same group, others bring friends or even their children, who are now old enough to join the tours themselves. 🐾

And there’s something pretty special about seeing how much has changed since their last visit. Some of you might remember having our youngsters on your teams — those same dogs are now competing in racing teams all over the world. Others might remember petting puppies who are now going to lead your teams out on the trail.

We’re incredibly proud of this and can’t wait to welcome so many familiar faces back to Slussfors this December and throughout the entire season. ❄️

Thank you for coming back and being part of our journey. ❤️

We’re really looking forward to the Sleddog Sympos We’re really looking forward to the Sleddog Symposium in Kiruna this weekend!

Two years ago, we were there as speakers, so this time we’re looking forward to simply being there as guests and enjoying the weekend. We’re excited for the keynotes, the exhibition and, of course, meeting lots of familiar and new faces.

You’ll probably find us hanging around our partners during the weekend, including Royal Canin, Nextmune and Axaeco — so come and say hi if you see us! 👋

Who of you will also be in Kiruna this weekend?

‘A champion is someone who is remembered. A legend ‘A champion is someone who is remembered. A legend is someone who is never forgotten.’ – Matshona Dhliwayo

Yesterday, at the age of 13, we had to say goodbye to our beloved Lily.
Lily, born and raised in Alaska at Mitch Seavy’s kennel, was brought to Sweden by Petter and Angela exactly 10 years ago. With her in the team, Petter won the Femundløpet in 2017 in record time and the Finnmarksløpet in 2018. But it’s not just her who ranks among the best of all time; her children and grandchildren are also active today in various kennels, competing in the world’s biggest races – including Bandit, Angus, Pentax, Nikon, Olympus and others.

Lily, you will surely never be forgotten; we will miss your friendly nature and your happy personality very much!
