Join an Alaska Dog Sled Tour
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.
