Two years ago — and still a vivid living memory: 9 dogs, a 2-year-old, a retired Greenland dog, and two slightly crazy Peter Pan grown-ups. Four weeks of drifting through Northern Norway on a husky cart, chasing adventures and collecting moments we’ll never forget.

Consider this your sign to do something a little crazy, a little unconventional, and completely unforgettable. Happy weekend friends😍🐾🙌

What exactly do mushers and sled dogs do during the summer? You might think it’s all lazy days, but for us, it’s a very important season.

🐕 What the dogs do:
A lot of time free playing and running in our big play fence
Socializing with new pack members
Hikes and camping with mom & dad
Pulling the cart when low temperatures
Loosing winter fur and getting brushed
Water play
Digging holes in the ground
Spending time in the shadow
Lots and lots of cuddles

👥 The people
Fixing equipment and dog houses
Cleaning and maintaining the dog yard
Meetings, bookings, e-mails and selling tours
Preparing and maintaining dog sledding trails
Daily dog care, feeding, watering and cleaning
Getting in shape for the winter season
And many other invisible things

Caring for 20 something huskies is more than a full time job, even in the summer. Our days never really start or end, it’s always something to do. We’re very happy the season is getting closer, and the dogs can’t wait to go for longer runs as the temperatures drop. And we all look forward welcoming guests again. Our booking calendar for the winter is open💕

The Managing Director turned 33 yesterday 🎉 And yes… that’s me. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Here are a few things I learned over the past year:

🐕 The middle section of a dog team can actually snap in two… and half the team can disappear.

💻 IT is not for the weak, and AI is making marketing both easier and harder. I’m too old to keep up.

🥷🏻 Running a small business means being a ninja—you have to be everywhere, solving both tiny and massive problems at the same time.

🧙🏼‍♀️ Whenever I think, “It’ll work itself out somehow,” I remember… I’m the “somehow.”

🪴 Growth is a process. You’re supposed to fail a few times before you grow. And laugh at your mistakes, life is not that serious.

🌝 Sleepless nights are for reading, not working.

💫 One bad review doesn’t erase all the good work you’ve done. (This has been my biggest fear since we put so much work and love into this business, but I learned to use honest feedback to be better, not beat myself up).

🦾 Health is both a privilege and hard work—and even then, there are no guarantees. New shoulder coming up!

I’m not really a birthday person, but I do like taking a moment to appreciate all the crazy things I’ve survived, learned from, and grown through over the years. I’ve not been sitting still (any tips how to do that post surgery are welcome).

The dog team has definitely given me a few grey hairs—and a fair share of aches, pains, and scars. But more than anything, dog sledding has given me the opportunities I always dreamed of: building a life outdoors, having fluffy best friends and a husband & kid that want to join in on every adventure, small or big.

Thanks for still being here you all. 33 - let’s go✨

It all started with a broken sled.

No lead dogs. No famous mushers to learn from. No racing experience. No sponsors.

Just a couple of Greenland Dogs, a couple of Alaskan Huskies, and two people who loved dogs and the outdoors, and eventually met each other.

Dogs had already shaped our lives. They were part of the reason we met, and they became an even bigger part of our story after an unexpected litter between Martine’s Greenland Dog and Henrik’s Husky. You have already met Qanik and Sid.

Mushing wasn’t part of some grand plan. It simply felt like the natural next step.

In the beginning, we didn’t have much—just determination. We learned by doing, trained our dogs one day at a time, slowly upgraded our equipment, and found a community that welcomed us along the way.

Somewhere between all the early mornings, the setbacks, and the miles on the trail, we realized this wasn’t just a hobby.

It was the life we wanted to build.

Today, we have the privilege of welcoming guests from all over the world to meet the very dogs we’ve raised and trained ourselves. At least most of them. Along the way, we’ve also adopted dogs. Some came from excellent bloodlines and loving homes, while others came from much harder beginnings. We’ve never looked for perfection, but potential. And it has not always been the easiest way.

Because for us, mushing has never been about distance, speed, or chasing records.

It’s about the dogs.
The nature.
And the people who choose to experience it with us.

Some pictures from our early days to keep us grounded💕
