The eight seasons
Up in the mountains, a year has more than four seasons. Mountain Shadow uses eight, like the Sámi calendar. Each season has its own colour, its own sound and its own jobs.
| Season | What happens | Good jobs |
|---|---|---|
| Spring-winter | The sun is back. The snow is hard, so sledges glide well | Ice fishing, long trips |
| Spring | The snow melts. Time to plant! | Plant potatoes, clear land |
| Spring-summer | The lake is open and the fish are jumping | Fishing, building |
| Summer | Light all night. The grass is tall | Mow hay, build |
| Autumn-summer | The berries are ripe | Pick cloudberries, visit friends |
| Autumn | Frost can come at night | Dig potatoes, gather firewood |
| Autumn-winter | The first snow. The dark is coming | Fill the woodpile, last fishing |
| Winter | The mountain hides the sun | Stay warm, ice fishing, stories by the fire |
The dark time
In winter, the sun stays behind Marsfjället. Work outside is short. Inside, the stove is warm. You can carve, mend nets and tell stories by the fire.
When the first sunbeam climbs over the ridge, the year is done. Everybody runs out to see it, and you have a sun festival. Everyone in the family grows one year older.
Season goals
Each season shows two or three goals with a picture. They are tips, not tests. If you miss one, the story still goes on.
