“Mush!” “Hike!” “Haw!” “Gee!” “Easy!” Learn these commands and maybe you can go MUSHING (dog sled riding) or Skijoring (cross country skiing by a dog team). Or maybe you could just go along for the ride while the Mushers drive their dogs. Reserve your place on a dog sled or on the observation decks at the 2012 Musher's Bowl Winter Carnival. Make your reservation for a sled ride or buy a button to see it all January 21-22, 2012. The 20 minute Dog Sled ride makes a great Holiday gift.
