HOW TO DRESS
During your excursion, you will be active when driving the sled and coller when you are a passenger (and during the safety briefing). Wear dry winter boots that you will put on once you arrive to avoid sweating. You must wear long underwear made of synthetic materials. Wear downhill ski-style winter pants that will cover your boots and prevent snow from reaching your ankles. For your body, choose several insulating layers. Wear gloves and a winter hat (tuque). On the trail, avoid any backpacks, water bottles, large cameras, long scarves, long coats, and fur items. There is a blanquette in all sleds. »

This begins your 60-minute experience. It will be punctuated by short breaks to pet the dogs, take photos, and swap places between drivers and passengers. Follow the guides’ instructions carefully. Ask questions; learn your dogs’ names. Express your enjoyment to motivate your dogs positively.
There is often a slightly longer break halfway through the hike.
