How is your Cell Phone coverage?
We’re tucked away in a beautiful, remote corner of Vermont’s mountains—part of the magic is
our rural location. Cell coverage here (and on the way to us) is spotty at best. We do have
wireless internet in the Learning Center for your convenience.
GOOGLE MAPS ONLY!!! NO OTHERS Use Google Maps only! Other systems (like MapQuest or car GPS units) may send you onto
impassable logging roads or snowmobile trails, where there’s no cell coverage and recovery can
be expensive. Please rely on the directions on our website, and don’t hesitate to call us ahead of
time for clarification.
Alaskan Huskies are not a pure breed but rather a mix of northern dogs bred for performance,
temperament, and endurance.
At Eden Dogsledding, Jim Blair (musher, owner, and champion racer) breeds and raises our dogs
for temperament, ensuring they are well socialized and people-oriented. Our dogs are
affectionate, playful, and always ready to bring you joy and laughter before racing off to pull a
sled!
Unlike Siberians or Malamutes, Alaskan Huskies vary widely in size, look, and
personality—from small, speedy pups to big, wolf-like sled dogs. Guests are often surprised by
their variety but quickly fall in love with the Un-Chained Gang.
Tour Times for Winter on the snow?
Our sled dogs love the snow and perform at their peak in winter. Tours run at the following times

10:00 AM – Our preferred daily tour
