What to Wear
Clothing must provide protection from both the cold and the wind. Bring several layers for warmth. Make sure you have sufficient clothing to cover all exposed skin.
You will need:
- Insulated boots with thick wool or synthetic socks
- Warm gloves with a nylon shell
- Goggles
- A scarf or face mask
- A warm hat
- Nylon pants and jacket to keep the wind out
- Several layers for warmth (Synthetic clothing will keep you warm, even as you perspire. Avoid cotton, as it will not keep you warm when it becomes wet.)
- A Camera and extra batteries are ALWAYS useful!
- Extra cash for guide gratuity (they work very hard to ensure a safe and exciting trip); as in most guided outdoor experiences, your musher relies on tips as part of his/her daily pay.
Safety Policies and Restrictions
- A weight limit of 325 pounds per sled is strictly enforced.
- Children under age 2 may not ride in a sled. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult.
- Helmets and Goggles are optional
Cancellation/Payment Policies
1.5 or 3 Hour Trip Cancellation Policy - Reservations must be paid for upon scheduling. If the kennel cancels a ride due to trail conditions or other circumstances, a 100% refund will be generated or a rolling dogsled will be substituted at the discretion of Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel. If a guest must cancel a reservation, we must be contacted via phone or email at least 2 weeks in advance. A 50% deposit will be retained for any cancellations that occur less than 14 days before a reservation if it cannot be filled by another party. When a cancellation occurs 48 hours or less before a reservation, no refund will be issued.
Mush-Inn Cancellation & Payment Policy - Reservations must be paid for upon scheduling. Guests will receive two charges on their statements, one from the kennel and a second from the inn. The kennel must be notified in writing at least 30 days prior to the scheduled departure for any cancellation requests to receive a 100% refund. Cancellation requests received less than 30 days before a reservation will not be refunded unless the slot can be filled with another party. Cancellations of the inn stay portion of the Mush-Inn trip must be handled directly with the inn itself.
