Treetops Resort – Dog Sledding Adventures – 2011 – 2012

We are so excited to be offering Dog Sledding again in 2011-12…Here’s the scoop (no pun intended)

We are partnering with the Iditarod Sled Dogs of OCM Mushing this winter and will bring you to opportunity to experience Dog Sledding at its finest. Each journey takes place on the scenic trails of the Robert Trent Jones Sr. Masterpiece golf course with its blanket of snow.

Experience the thrill with these options:

1/2 hour tours – $75 per (up to) 4 person sledload
1 hour tours – $140 per (up to) 4 person sledload
NEW THIS YEAR
Driving Experience – $175 per (up to) 3 person sledload. You will drive the team with the assitance of a musher.
Sprints – $15 per child 12 and under OR $20 per teen or adult 13 and older. Various days through the season, you’ll find the dogs on the slopes at Treetops conducting 100 yard sprints. You’ll be amazed how fast 1 dog can pull you when there’s a cookie waiting for him/her.

Each ride typically consists of 2 adults and 2 small children. During your experience, you’ll learn interesting facts about the dogs, their racing history, lifestyle, vet needs and the lifelong bond between the dogs. You’re in for an unforgettable experience….but space and dates are limited.
