We wake up to the first morning in the mountains, maybe we are the only ones in this area? It’s a nice feeling and totally quiet. After the dogs and our self had breakfast, we are on the way again. Today you should have the right “musherfeeling” and be able to master the sled. Sometimes it's hard work for us and the dogs, but when we see the delightsome view around us we are getting paid back. Tonight it is New Year's eve and we make a really nice dinner and have some champagne to salute 2011. We spend the night in a cosy mountain hut.
