About Activenorth
Activenorth´s people are a family of five. We live in Skibotn, where we have built our own houseas well as the dog kennel, on Tomas' family farm.
It all began with one dog named Grace in 2007, now we have around 30 dogs. We have been driving dogs with tourists since 2008, but this year we are making a new beginning in our own backyard. During the years of dogmushing we have raced the world's longest 8-dog race, 9 times; we have participated in races across Finland, Sweden and even on the border to Russia. The fantastic dogs have never failed to go, during blizzards, 45 degrees below, bad trails and whiteouts. The dogs are our family's passion, and the kids are always included when we are racing.
