We looked at several dog sledding options but we decided TBK Sampler fit our needs and budget. Plus I wanted one of their t-shirts! There was a choice of 30 or 60 minutes and it turned out 30 was plenty as the temperature was 8º F and the speedy dogs created some wind chill on top of that! Our musher has raced the Iditarod and was a wealth of information about dog mushing and answered our many questions as we rode along the trails and on the frozen Chena River. I had done a summer dog sledding summer camp ride years ago with a wheeled "sled" that was a lot of fun, but I really wanted to go out in the snow at some point. It was great! We had a nice sunny day and a cup of hot cocoa at the end. Our musher was great! I am so sorry I can't remember her name! I'm sure it will come back to me at some point. I would highly recommend Trail Breaker Kennels for your winter dog mushing experience!
