We went with @snowyowlsleddogtours on their Powder Hound Express tour and couldn’t have had a better experience. We started with a shuttle ride from town to start of the trail.

We got an introduction on how to steer the sled and control the pups—then got a meet and greet with the furry friends that would be taking us on our adventure! 🐶

Ollie was only 18 months old when we went and I was a little nervous he was a bit young. But, he had the best time!

It’s definitely cold (though you are bundled up in the sled) and the length of the entire experience (probably around 4-5 hrs from start to finish) might make it better suited for older kids, but you know your child best!

We knew our dog and “all-things-that-GO” 💨 loving toddler would love it—and he did!

You’ll sled for about an hour on an exhilarating trail through snowcapped pine trees. Ollie actually dozed off at one point because he was so cozy! You stop for an incredible photo opportunity in the middle of the forest about halfway through and it started snowing which was SO magical).

Once you loop back to the start location of the trail, they have a campfire with hot beverages and baked goods to enjoy before heading back to town.

It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I can’t wait to go again!
