National Geographic Traveler: Featured Wintergreen in spring 2009



          Thanks for a GREAT season! We are off on our far north dogsled trips to Hudson Bay and the Northwest Territorities.  We will release next seasons schedule when we return in May. Email us if you would like to receive a sneak preview copy to get first dibs on dates!

          On these entry-level winter skills programs, you'll spend your first evening & morning at the lodge receiving hands-on training in winter camping and travel skills, including dog care & harnessing, dogsledding, back-country skiing, snowshoeing, winter ecology, and cold weather comfort and safety. Then you'll embark on a 4-day, 3-night guided wilderness dogsled trek.

          You’ll travel by dogteam each day (with skiing & snowshoeing as optional campsite activities) and enjoy campfire chats with your guides and group each evening. You’ll camp in our Himalayan Hotel sleeping tents (or try an "igloo"!), Siberian Chalet cooking tent, and our cozy Antarctic sleeping bags and strata-rest pads ("a toasty sleep at any temp")! We'll celebrate the trip with a festive final evening back at the lodge.

          No experience or gear needed. Lots of learning & lots of fun! A “hands-on” experience during which you’ll have a chance to try it all – harnessing & driving dogteams, setting camp, fire building, outdoor cookery, building snow shelters and more.
