1. How many people per sled? The number of people per sled is based on comfort and weight. The most we seat are two adults and one child, but sometimes it’s more comfortable to just sit one. If the weight of two adults is over 400lbs, then each adult will need to purchase their own sled ($300/sled).
2. We’re from a warm climate, will we be cold on this tour? Not only do we provide our guests with cold weather gear, but our sleds are enclosed in a zippered sled bag to block the wind, with reindeer hides and blankets for added warmth.
3. Do we join other guests? Our tours are private. The maximum amount of travelers we host during each given time slot is 4, yet each reservation operates independently of each other. Additionally each sled of two is assigned their own personal professional guide. Tours are conducted at a leisurely pace, without the added burden of lines nor the nuisance of waiting.
4. How many dogs will be on our team? The size of the team is at the guides discrepancy and is based on current trail conditions. A slower softer trail might entice the guide to hook-up 10 huskies, where as a fast hard packed trail might require the guide to reduce the dog power to 8 huskies.
5. What kind of sled dogs do we work with? Our guides have all chosen to work with the Alaskan Husky. You will most definitely hear all about this phenomenal breed during your tour, but to soothe your curiosity at the moment—The Alaskan Husky is the most modern form of sled dog. They stem from the traditional sled dogs (i.e.malamutes & Siberian huskies) and crossed into other working class dogs with a focus on speed and endurance.
6. Will we be able to see? Yes! We provide our guests with headlamps (if needed) so you can see down the trail.
