Update from Canadian Challenege. They are getting so much snow is hard to see the trail especially when part of the trail is over a frozen lake! They've shortened it to 160 miles instead of 200. Dallin, wade, and Ryan are all doing well!

We are incredibly appreciative of our awesome veterinary teams, led by Dr Romany, with Dr Riley, Dr Alexina, Dr Emily and Dr Alicia. They are supported by 4th year WCVM vet students -Francisco, Cici, Mallory and Jessica. The teams checked over 110 dogs today… nose to tail, paw to paw. Thank you to each of you.

And more thanks to our brilliant volunteers Jen and Adam. They showed up, mucked in and were fab.

We’re working on getting some pics edited asap to bring you all the fun of the vets.🤗

Huge THANK YOU to everyone who have come dog sledding with us this season so far. 🐾❄️
Even in a low-snow year, we head higher to find the good stuff—and once we do, the dogs deliver an unforgettable ride.
We’re so grateful you trusted us to take you on the trail. More snow is coming. Let's hope for as much snow as we can get!
