Nicolas Petit grew up in Normandy, France, and always loved animals, but primarily made the move to Alaska because he loved snow. With a sense of adventure and a desire to combine two of the most Alaska-ish characteristics (dogs and snow), Nic adopted a gorgeous Alaskan husky named ‘Ugly’ and began working him under harness. Both learned the skill of mushing, one instinctually, one via research and tutelage from other sled dog drivers.
There’s a difference between a more typical flightseeing tour and an Outbound Heli Adventures experience, and we feel it’s important to have all the information before making a final decision. It’s your Alaska trip, after all, and we want you to head home with unforgettable memories that fit both your style and budget.
