Even twelve hours later, I kinda can\u2019t believe it: we took the dudes dogsledding today!<\/p>\n
Yesterday en route home from a great day of skiing (more on that soon), we happened to spy in the distance tiny teams of what looked to be dogs pulling sleds. Sure enough, Alpine Adventures<\/a>\u00a0(\u201cYour destination for dog-powered fun!\u201d ☺️) is happy to host little tours and even let you try driving a sled! We booked a lunchtime session and were delighted to take turns driving, riding in the sled, and riding in a little sleigh behind a snowmobile (as the dogs pull just two people at a time).<\/p>\n We learned a ton from our guide Joe, a transplant from Georgia who\u2019s been working with dogs for a decade. Just in case you were curious, each dog can run up to 20 miles per day, consumes roughly 6,000 calories worth of meat & other food each day, and comfortably lives outside all winter in his or her own little straw-filled barrel\u2014as you can see in the pictures.\u00a0Check out this gallery<\/a><\/strong> from the day plus a couple of quick videos below.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.jnack.com\/micronaxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DogShow.jpg\")
