DSCF4372.jpg



Linnea our 7 yo went first.

DSCF4374.jpg



The downhill went just fine, no problems :)

DSCF4375.jpg



Wifey's cousin Ulf Tore making a phone call, he's riding the Polaris 700 SKS.

DSCF4376.jpg



The plains are a great place to go riding, pretty flat and a deep snow cover, I love riding in this area.

DSCF4377.jpg

A few more anglers trying to catch an Arctic Char or a Trout.

Man... it's a nice sled hahahaha I love it.

DSCF4395.jpg


DSCF4412.jpg



While we were camping for the half the day up in the Cats Hole I had to take the sled for a spin to explore the area around the Lake Vuolit Ransajavri. I rode north down the creek exiting the Lake. In the far distance you can see the Porsanger Fjord and a part of the Arctic Ocean.

Still great snow conditions.

The kids are playing on the hillside above the Cats Hole.

DSCF4420.jpg



The days was very warm, up in the 40sF or +10C degrees. By afternoon snow was starting to get real soft even on the trails. All of a sudden the sled found its own way into the bushes hahahahaha MAN I got stuck.
#$%&* :o|
Luckily it was close to home, only a minutes walk from mother-in-laws house. Wifey went to pic up a saw to cut down the trees.

DSCF4421.jpg


DSCF4422.jpg



Hahahaha it wouldn't go anywhere, after a short while the people who own the cabin close by came home, they helped us to get the sled back on the trail, thank you very much :) ;)!


End trip.
