Sled Doggin’ It In Vermont

I turn to see them disappearing into the valley with a wonderful view of the Green Mountains. The fall color is spectacular. Yes! There is no snow now for these sled dogs . . they are carrying passengers from Texas on a German-made cart. Musher Jim Blair of Eden Mountain Dogsledding calls his wheeled adventures, “Dogsledding-On-Wheels,” other Vermont mushers call it dog carting. But it doesn’t matter what you call it, it is another aspect of dogsledding in Vermont.

Come visit picturesque Lake Elmore Vermont for a wide variety of dog powered activities ranging from dog scootering to dog sledding and everything in between. As soon as the temperatures fall below fifty degrees we begin fall cart tours which run from our cabin in Elmore and include a digital slide show on the history of dogsledding and hot beverages next to the wood stove. Once snow flies we begin running with our hand built toboggan sleds over the beautiful woodland trails of Elmore. We also run night tours at Stowe Mountain Resort three nights a week. Please visit our web site for schedule information. We have a small kennel of Siberian Huskies and only run three tours per day so booking well in advance is suggested.
