"It was super awesome . Hannah was really great. The dogs are amazing and the trials and Beautiful. I would recommend this for everyone who is up for an adventure"
"Robin was an excellent guide and muster. We enjoyed spending time with her learning about the dogs. Very highly recommend Snowhook for this trip"
"Without a doubt, this snow sledding experience became a core memory for me. I was honestly on the fence at first. Did I really want to spend money just to ride a sled in the middle of winter? The answer: absolutely hell yes. This ended up being one of the best experiences I’ve had all year, and easily the best one I’ve had here in Alaska. The dogs were gorgeous, the entire operation was impressively organized, and everything felt seamless from start to finish. A special thank you to Jeremiah for being such an incredible guide. He answered my questions so generously while expertly managing 13 dogs like it was second nature. He was clearly the alpha, and this was absolutely an alpha-tier Alaska experience."
"This was one of my best excursions ever on vacation. The dogs are so well taken care of and eager to meet the guests. Lindsey was an amazing guide and provided us with so much information about dog sledding. I loved all of the dogs on our team, but my favorite was Dixon. Such a sweet and smart pup!"
"The activity was great with out guide Lindsay. We all had a great time including my 10 year old daughter."
"WOW! Amazing experience, our guide Hannah was awesome. They have snow gear for you, definitely recommend the boots so your own gear doesn't get dirty. Got to see puppy's, the kennels, and pet so many of the sled dogs! Even helped push the sled. 2 people per sled, tip your guide ;) so much fun"
"It was fantastic even in -22 degrees farenheit! They provided warm gear for us and our musher was sweet, knowledgeable and adores the dogs. We really enjoyed holding puppies and Eddie was our favorite dog!"
