The snow isn't weird, it's just too cold :) There are a lot of words for snow in finnish as there are a lot of different kinds of snow. You can only make snowballs at around 0'C.

@@kennedymthomas I'd call that a "powder snow", how it snows when it is cold (maybe around -10 and below Celsius) like people said it is "dry" crystalline snow (or ice rather) so it does not stick together as easily. At -20 and beyond snow usually falls as big perfect even cartoony looking ice crystals, I'm always in some sort of awe when I see it myself. It is less powdery because the crystals are like even 0.5 cm big even but it usually reflects light differently to smaller crystals and if there's enough of it on the ground which makes it look "sparkly" or "glittery" everywhere... well at least if there's some light sources.

All reindeer in Finland are both wild and tame, every reindeer is owned by a farmer but they are free to roam in the wild. Every reindeer is tagged so that you know who's it is.

11:07 Hi from Finland! The show doesn't stick together because it's so cold. It needs a little water in it to stick so you need temperatures close to freezing point for that to happen. When it becomes too cold all the water is frozen and it doesn't stick anymore.

Looks like a pretty nice airbnb indeed. Wood-burning sauna stove and whatnot, incredible!

amazing beautiful place

This looks like such an amazing trip! ❤ I love it! 😍

Wowza! What an amazing trip!

Just came across your channel. I enjoyed this video. It's pretty cool seeing Finland. I dated an exchange student from Finland years ago when I was in high school. 😂 I would love to travel there one day!! You guys are so lucky!!!

Bear in Finnish is karhu, so I was very confused when you kept saying that the airbnb is called ostella which doesn't mean bear but "to shop around" :D but then I realised the name must be Otsola (otso is old word for bear) and you just pronounced it weird :)

I love the snow!

Well of course i hope you enjoy your visit in Finland. Safe travels for you both.

wow very cute place

Hope you let the sauna warm up long enough and throw water on the rocks to get the hot steam!

I once set up a tent in Tankavaara village during the summer. In the morning, I was woken up by this weird munching sound. So, I slowly lift the zipper high enough, and the first thing I see is a tongue, a reindeer tongue, then a head. A reindeer was eating moss or lichen right in front of my tent opening. That reindeer wasn't even startled seeing me face to face. I was like - umm, ok, I'll put on some clothes now, so please let me out in a moment. Later I heard, that reindeer was one of the local celebs, he just liked to hang out there.

11:10 You cannot build a snowman unless the snow is close to 0 °C. When you visited the Santa, the temperature was -9 °C which is way too for snow to stick together.

Please clean the rear window before driving!!!

16:55 Glad to see that you had at least operable temperature for the sauna. Finnish sauna is supposed to have properly hot rocks instead of barely steaming ones.

How cool is that you see reideers but?
