As we celebrate the end of our 30th winter season of dogsled tours, we wish to express our gratitude to the amazing team of guides that worked to provide excellent dog care and great customer service all winter. Thank you! Working an outdoor job in the winter is challenging as well as physically demanding, and this crew kept a positive attitude though the season, working well together with the common bond of being a musher with a dogsled team on the mountain trails (and the love of dogs!). Some will continue to work with the dogs at the kennel, and others are off to a new summer adventure. Wishing everyone a well deserved break, safe travels, and lots of sunny days ahead.

The last of our team include these guides from European countries. From Germany, Tjalf (with Ice), better know as "T", has embraced the mountain man lifestyle with the full beard to keep him warm while working outside all winter! Also from Germany, Levi is on his gap year, spending the winter in Canmore with plans to travel around western Canada for the year. Michal (with Cooper) comes from Slovakia, recently arriving in Canada to the February cold spell and is hoping to see as much of western Canada as possible on his working holiday.
Thanks to all our team members - it's a pleasure to work with you all!

The views are amazing even before you get on the dogsled trail!
