Happy Solstice to You!
We are excited to have snow and are able to use our dog sleds finally! It was a slow start to winter but it feels like it is here now!

We want to wish you all a happy holiday on the shortest day of the year!
Our bookings are up for both winter dog sledding and summer canoeing trips because, naturally people want to get outside where they feel safe and can be rejuvenated by being in the natural world!

I was sorry that we didn’t give you the floor more of the time because your stories were so cool and I could tell you were just scratching the surface. Your guiding was great and there’s nothing I can think of for how you could have done it any better.
