If you’re anywhere near Mont-Tremblant in the winter (best skiing in the East), take a morning to experience the thrill of dogsledding. The excitement starts with selecting the teams from the multitude of barking and howling dogs. Each one wants to be picked for the run and each one wants to be first. As they’re harnessed to the sleighs, they get more and more excited - and it’s contagious. Your heart beats faster. You can’t wait to get going! I was given a solo sled with four dogs (on my first time) and I couldn’t have been more thrilled. So I thought. But when the guides released the sled and the dogs bounded ahead with the sled in tow it was exhilarating! Off down the forest trails you fly, standing on the rear runners, leaning from side to side to steer, with the wind in your face, running beside the sled uphills and breaking on the downhills. The guides on adjacent sleds watch carefully and give pointers where necessary - but the skill comes quickly. Expédition Wolf is well run and they treat their dogs well. The guides know each dog by name (and their history and temperament) and they treat them like colleagues. This is a beautiful experience on every level, whether you want to mush or just ride on the sled. Don’t miss these beautiful dogs doing what they love to do.
