    Best experience ever. We were not sure what to expect. What a fun and instructive day. As my son said we all dreamt when we were young to be able to build our own shelter in the snow and thanks to Artturi we made our dream come true!! What an achievement ! Artturi was so knowledgeable, patient and so fun. Our pics are great and we are all so grateful to have signed up for this.

    I had never done anything like this before but enjoyed it a lot. It was the most amazing experience. Our two ‘leaders’ Art and Jeppe were both very awesome. Friendly good sense of humour and patient with we newbies. Both were also very helpful and very knowledgeable and we felt very much like we were in safe hands the whole time. Both Art and Jeppe should have their own Discovery Channel shows!!
