Within the area are a handful of reasonably priced dog sledding outfitters that usually provide transportation and lunch on each trip. From sliding across finely groomed trails to seeking out fresh powder, embarking on a dog sledding trip is exciting. The air will be cold and the wind can be fierce at times, so having the proper winter attire complete with gloves and a hat is extremely important. Furthermore, dog sledding is a great activity for the whole family to enjoy. And, if skiing or snowboarding at Vail Resort is your top priority while in the area, taking a dog sled ride is a great way to rest the legs and try something you normally wouldn't do at home.
