A great season is over!

[Translate to Englisch:]

Last Weekend, our last guests travelled back home. A family of 5 on Saturday and a family of 3 on Sunday. 4 proud young mushers received the diploma after having shown that age is just a number. Even at the age of 11 it is a great experience to drive your own team, take care of it from A to Z incl. giving snacks on the trails and during the days in the wilderness cabin. Thanks for having spent you holiday with us, have a good start back home and maybe see you again! 

The week before was filled with Huskystuff from Switzerland. Together with their 40 own dogs, they spent a whole week with us, explorinjg the trails by their own. It was a great pleasure the sit and talk with Fiona and Michi, team-members from years ago, with partner and family and chat about old times and what they do today in the Swiss Alps. And really imprressing was to see the 2 llttle girls, Anna and Selina, how they drive their own dogteams already at the age of 3 and 5 and move freely and relaxed in the middle of the big pack of dogs. Small mushers today, but doing a great job!

A lot of sun during the last weeks gives us a splinglike tan. Gloves are not needed often anymore, but sunglasses every day. And the evening walk with the housedogs can be done now without headlight, as we have now over 15 hours of sunlight per day and spring is coming closer and closer. The roads are mostly snowclean and drying up. But the trails still have plenty of snow, hardly ever a piece of forest ground visible. We profit from that fact and will still drive the yearlings a few times and down-train the adults step by step to release them in the end fully relaxed into their summer break.  

And besides this? For us now starts the big clean-up, storing away all winter equipment, getting out all summer stuff, enjoy long kenneldays with bones and and lot of cuddlings for the dogs, preparing the puppy-fences etc. Relaxed days also for us, even though the list with season-end-jobs is as long as every year. We look forward to a few guest-free weeks, approaching own holidays and no more early- or late-shifts. A more detailled update on the last season in figures, will follow in the next news, as soon as we have stored away all sleds and harnesses and really said goodbye to winter 21/22. 

Have a nice spring!
