We live in the north, next to the mountains. You would be outside with the dogs during the day, in various locations, woods, mountains, icy lakes. It is an ideal place to experience wilderness, its littarly around the corner. But its also a small community and a touristresort with a skiingarea, grocerystore, small hotels and restaurants.
