After a quick but thorough briefing, you take the reins and lead your own husky team solo into the Lappish backcountry. Feel the raw power of the pack accelerating beneath you, the runners cutting through fresh snow, the forest opening up ahead. Sixteen kilometres of pure northern wilderness, driven on your own terms. Halfway through, you swap positions with your fellow driver and push on deeper into the wild.
Back at the kennel, meet the dogs properly, hear the musher’s stories, and warm up with hot drinks and biscuits — well earned.
