FAQs

  • How far ahead do we have to book?

    This depends upon the time of the season. We book up quickly for Christmas week, Family Day/Valentines weekend, and Easter, so you should call at least a couple of weeks ahead. We do not take a deposit until 30 days prior to the tour, so you can book as early as you want. We do take last minute (even same day) bookings, so don’t think it is not worth calling!

  • Do you have weight restrictions?

    There is no weight restriction for groups of 2. We can adjust the number of dogs on the team accordingly. If there are more than 2 people, we have restrictions based on height (space in the sled) and combined weight of the people.

  • Do you take injured or physically impaired participants?

    Yes – because each sled we run is guided, we are able to accommodate most injuries/impairments. We will recommend that you take into consideration the temperatures – if a limb is immobile, there is greater risk of frostbite.

  • Where do you pick-up from?

    We currently pick up in Canmore and Banff (one central location, limited departures).
