Chris & Lisa launch their Arctic Dogsled Trip

They're off! Wintergreen guides Chris Maher & Lisa Strom of Sweden (shown here with our pups Betty & Boop and their komatik sled loaded on their truck top) departed Wintergreen today on a 2,000-mile drive to reach the Arctic Ocean at Inuvik, NWT. From there, they embark on a 4-month dogsled expedition across Canada's mythical Northwest Passage to reach Hudson Bay. With a little luck, our Wintergreen dogsledding group may rendezvous with them in Churchill in April. What a party that will be! We'll post updates on their trek throughout the winter. Join us on our Wintergreen dogsled trip along Hudson Bay's Polar Bear National Park: http://www.dogsledding.com/images/stories/documents/hudson%20bay%202010.pdf

  1. Lisa and Chris were my guides on my first dogsled trip with Wintergreen. They are a great pair of exceptionally skilled winter outdoorsfolk, so I'm quite sure they're well prepared for this adventure. I wish them luck and fun!
