Our mascot

Hi, I'm Bruce!

Bruse is an active little goat from Vinje in Telemark and our new mascot. Bruse likes to be where the action is – among people, laughter and life. He loves to ski, and he is often out on the ski slopes or on the trails. If you meet this little silly goat, you have to come over and say hello, because the best thing Bruse knows is cuddles and hugs from his little human friends!
