Forget stretch limos. In Norway, the fanciest way to get from the airport to a hotel is a ride on the dog-sled taxi. Just launched this week, the new service takes passengers from Kirkenes Airport to the nearby Kirkenes Snow Hotel via a 45-minute trek through snowy mountains. The service, which employs a team of eight Alaskan huskies, managed to get approval from Norway’s defense services, the local government, and the wildlife authority in control of reindeer in the area. According to a representative of the Kirkenes Snow Hotel, this one-of-a-kind experience is geared toward the "high end market." That would explain the 2300 NOK ($370) price tag. |

We heard on the news that the Iditarod was cancelled this year due to a lack of snow. We only heard it once and haven't heard anything since. I don't know if that is true. I guess you have to dress warm to take a taxi Norway. |

That says that a few of the smaller races have been cancelled so maybe we heard that the Iditarod "training" race was cancelled. I could't figure out why we only heard it once. |

Finally saw something on the news the other day. They said they were afraid it would have to be cancelled due to a lack of snow. It did go off as scheduled, however. I guess we only heard part of it a few weeks ago. |
