In 2016 Elias ran 3 long distance races: Mush Synnfjell; Gausdal 300 and Femundslöpet 600. He is an enthusiastic outdoorsman and when he’s not mushing dogs he enjoys trail running, paragliding, skiing, climbing and mountain biking.
Elias says: “I mush dogs for the nature experiences and to learn a thing or two from them. I find the dogs to be not only incredible athletes, but also very honest beings that will teach you something each and every day“.”][stm_staff style=”style_2″ name=”Maret Pajus” image=”3287″ image_size=”medium” job=”Handler and Guide” description=”When she finished school in 2009 Maret found her first ever sled-dog job in Finland. Working with huskies turned into a life changing adventure, and after falling in love with them, it became impossible for her to leave the kennel life behind.
She loves being surrounded by the happiness of a kennel full of huskies, and sharing that experience with guests. According to Maret: “That’s probably the main thing about sleddogs and guiding for me – huskies are so full of crazy happiness, they know exactly how to enjoy life. It is almost impossible for our guests not to consider this experience one of the best things they have ever done.“ “][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
