What happens if there is no snow?
The experience is very similar to dog sledding — you will still enjoy the excitement of the dogs running, the beautiful countryside trails, and the unique connection with the huskies. In fact, the wheeled cart can be even a little faster and more dynamic than a snow sled, making it a fun alternative for all ages.
