January 23rd & 24th

“Mush!” “Hike!” “Haw!” “Gee!” “Easy!”

Learn these commands and maybe you can go MUSHING (dog sled riding) or Skijoring (cross country skiing by a dog team). Or maybe you could just go along for the ride and while the Mushers drive their dogs. Reserve your place on a dog sled or on the observation decks at the 2010 Musher's Bowl Winter Carnival. Make your reservation for a sled ride or buy a button to see it all January 23-24, 2010. The 30 minute Dog Sled ride makes a great Holiday gift. We are accepting reservations now.
