Review from Matt R.

I'm not the type of egomaniac that has a list of 136 thrill-seeking things to do before I die. But have you ever driven a sled pulled by dogs?
I have!
Exhilarating. I'll sum it up like this. They minimize the instruction, but you still get to drive the sled yourself. Look at the dang ole picture I posted. How cool is that? Sure, it's fun to careen down a hill on a sled, especially after a few glasses of hard eggnog. But it's yet another thing to mush (be dragged by) six out-of-control dogs that totally love running as much as you love being pulled along.
First, you meet the dogs, all adorable. (Many were rescued from shelters, all of them want to run-run-run. And all of them are good with people -- these aren't exactly Iditarod dogs. Your sled will only have 3-8 dogs instead of the usual 14.) Then, after a few more basic pointers, mostly having to do with standing without falling and braking, you get your sea legs by "driving" the sled behind a snowmobile. Finally you're thrown out there, your safety net being the dude on a snowmobile. The course is a golf course, no steering involved.
I love you Willow, Snuggles, Yazzie, Mingus, Otis, and Stumpy. Mush!! -

I took my nephew,(15) while he was on Christmas break - he was asking when we could come back, before we even got in the car. There are even more dogs then before and alot of them are rescues. The owners are just awesome! Again, I highly recommend Arctic Paws!
