Donald Eriksson lives in Ekorrsele, a village outside of Lycksele. He and his family runs a restaurant and a dog sledding company. We wanted to hear what motivates him for his job and where his passion comes from?

Hey Donald, what makes dod sledding such a fun thing in the freezing cold?

- The light, the silence and becoming one with the dogs, thats the short version. There are few thins so beautiful as the low shining sun in the cold January and February. The colder the more beautiful in my opinion. When the dogs are crazily eager to start running, barking and making noises and as soon as I loose the brakes, everything goes silent. Chances of seeing wildlife are big since we travel quietly compared to snowmobiling. Black grouses often lift from the trails when we fly by. The evenings and nights are absolutely magic when I can turn of my head torch and ride in the moonlight. You forget all your everyday problems and the relaxation is so calming. If we are really lucky the northern lights can dance around the sky for us. That feeling can't be bought.
