Looks like they have lots of snow this year. I wished I had picked this week to go up on holiday.

God I am green with envy! How I would love to do this ... I always wanted to take Hal up to aviemore and meet up with someone with malamutes so we could put him through his paces but there was never any snow it seemed. Now they do seem to get snow every year.

It must be the most amazing fun for the woofers ... forget the mushers, there can be no greater sight than seeing alaskan malamutes doing what they should.
