In January, Aviemore hosts the annual Husky competition which is great fun and a must see for dog lovers.
John and I went to see the competition twice and believe it or not - last year was the first time in 15 years where the race took place on SNOW! Check out the BBC report for more information.
I know, it sounds strange but they haven't had any snow up there during the race weekend for the last 15 years.
Nevertheless, it is good fun to watch those lovely dogs racing.
My favourite part is to walk around the car park and to cuddle the dogs :-)
I hope you like the pictures I took a couple of years ago. As you can see, there is literally no snow.
Hard to imagine, after all the snow we've had so far in Edinburgh! I am sure that this year will be different altogether where lack of snow won't be an issue.
For those who are interested in attending, the next event will take place from 22 January - 23 January, 2011 at Loch Morlich, Cairngorms, Scotland.
As mentioned in the previous post, Aviemore is popular with skiing.
Every year thousands of people take their ski up to Aviemore for a weekend or during the school holidays so if you want to visit Aviemore in the wintertime, make sure you book your accommodation in advance.
For more information about skiing in the Cairngorms national park, check out the Cairngorm website.
