My wife and I love skiing and we spend most of our time on the slopes in Whistler when we can, so other activities tend to take a back seat, and getting up the mountain is costly enough. When parents and family come to visit and they are not as keen to don a pair of ski's or a board... More

Make sure you take half a day from skiing and go Mushing. Situated in a hidden valley, these dogs are so friendly ,the handlers put on quite a show with their banter and the biscuits at the end are not bad either. Who knows you may even get a taste for the Iditarod. We will definately be returning next year. More

The amazing thing is that I still remember the names of all the dogs that pulled our sled: Blixen, Troll, Fairy, Greygrey, Whiney (or was it Winey?), and Muesli. Thank you guys. This was the most heart-warming and fun morning of our holiday. Wonderful energetic staff who clearly know and love the dogs and introduce them to the guests in... More

A great experience from start to finish. You learn about the history of Whistler and surrounding areas, learn how to saddle up your dogs and how to drive the sled. Then it's off, up up!! Our team of Tuba, Sherman, Bubba and Hopper were so keen to set off; they were jumping around and 'talking' so loudly. After their exertion... More

Brilliant scenery, happy excited dogs who couldn't wait to drag us around the valley, helpful instructors who got us interacting with the dogs by name, helping link them up to the sleds, and driving the sled with confidence. Not for profit organisation and you could tell all the staff loved the dogs (and vice versa). And those dogs LOVE to... More

Definitely a highlight of our 10 day holiday! Thanks to all the team who made this such a special occasion ... to Dennis for his impressive commentary and knowledge of the area, to Snags and Sam for introducing us to the dogs, guiding us, and taking photos of this wonderful experience. Must also, of course, mention the dogs, including Misty,... More

One of the most amazing and memorable things we have ever done. The whole experience starts when Dennis picks you up in the van and gives you his expert knowledge of the area (I defy anyone to know more about Whistler than this guy). Arriving at the Soo Valley you get to meet the dogs and do as much or... More

Wow! This was quite an experience with a class operation. It all started with Dennis picking us up at our hotel and calmly, methodically giving us a very thorough history of the area, all while driving through a blizzard on treacherous roads into the beautiful Soo Valley. We had the chance to use the facilities ( think spa, then think... More

A fantastic experience, the dogs were gorgeous - so keen to work and full of personality. The young guides were outgoing and very keen to share their knowledge of the dogs and the sport of dog-sledding. Highly recommended. Be sure and take the opportunity to be the musher! More
