Alaska X is proud to sponsor our Musher Manager, Stump Jumpin' Kennel - Wade Marrs! Good luck Wade!

Wow! Long time no talk. Man do I owe you all an update. I had a successful summer in Skagway managing a super crew of mushers, handlers, and dogs at Alaska X. As well as getting to bring our boys to experience life in Southeast Alaska for a few months. Amazing memories made. We will be back next summer as I manage both the Skagway and Juneau Dog Camps. Taking a cruise? Come see us!

I worked at Alaska X for 6 years in my younger days, its where I met alot of you even! Thank you to Alaska X for welcoming me back to the company and now with my family.

I decided to take a winter off full time training dogs to be full time with my family in Wisconsin but I'm happy to be able to do a bit of racing. In a few weeks I head to Alaska to race one of my favorites the Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race with Redington Mushing. Ryan has 9 Stump Jumpers this season and I really miss them and excited to be with them on the trail. Good luck to Ryan and his handlers racing the Knik 100 this weekend too.

Talia Martens of Martens Mushing has my young crew. She will be taking them in the Beargrease 120 in Duluth, MN. I'm eyeing up the CopperDog in the UP come March. Will see if that happens. Heard that's a blast. I always enjoy trying a new race and getting to expose the young dogs to the crowds unique to L48 races.

Mackey's Top Notch Racing Kennel has 4 core dogs of SJK and I'm excited to see them shine during his racing season and Iditarod. My right hand man in Skagway Grayson Bruton has the smallest Stump Jumpers getting them ready for their rookie season.

Big thanks to Ryan, his crew, Talia and her family, Jason and Grayson for taking the best care of our dogs. And all of you! Followers and fans of not only our kennel but the mushing community. You all are a major part of keeping this sport alive!

Merry Christmas all from SJK!

You go, Jessi! 🥳 We’re lucky to have Jessi on our team of awesome mushers in Juneau.

Best of luck in the Kobuk 440 race starting in just one week from today! 🏆

Aimaagvik Kennel - Alaska

Jessi Downey is originally from the village of Noatak. She started dog mushing as a teenager by helping Jen Evans and other local mushers run dogs around the southcentral town of Willow and eventually went on to start her own kennel. She has run the Willow 300, the Goose Bay (Tug) 150, and the Ididn'trod, and ran the Kobuk 440 for the first time last year. She is looking forward to seeing the trails again and revisiting all the communities on the Kobuk 440 route. Her sponsors are Alaska X, her mom, and a lot of friends and family. She would like to thank the Kobuk 440 Racing Association for putting on an amazing race.
