Fitness Level

Guests should be in good health, but don't need to be super athletes. We try to adjust our trips to your ability and comfort levels.  Mushing involves learning basic techniques for steering and controlling the sled, observing the dogs, and helping them do their jobs. Sometimes, you will stand on the sled enjoying the scenery and steering by weight shift or putting one foot in the snow. Other times, you will help the dogs by pumping with one foot or walking or running up a hill behind them.

If you aren't sure whether you are able to do one of our trips or have health limitations, please feel free to ask questions and discuss your requirements with us.
