点评:Fabulous multi-day dogsledding in the White Mtns, led by Lisbet and with support from Nils on the trail and Khanna and Alyssa back at headquarters. If given the option, definitely do the side trail into the Fossil Creek area!
We were one couple, joined by another couple who had previously dogsledded. Arctic Dog Adventure Company (ADAC) provided gear, like outdoor pants, parka, & sleeping bag, that kept all of us toasty at 0 degrees and would've done the same even if it were 20 degrees colder. Lisbet's attention to detail showed how again and again she had already anticipated our needs: stuff was done or offered before it was needed, or promptly at the time it was requested. It was an exceptional level of service on the trail that kept all warm, hydrated, well fed, and safe. Being our first time dogsledding, there was a bit of a learning curve. Might have helped if there was an ADAC-recommended 'how to dogsled' video to watch beforehand. One certainly needs a fair amount of grip strength (when you tip a sled, it's challenging to hold on to 6 dogs eager to keep pulling!). The cabins were snug and each a little different: all three had enough knee-level bunks for the 4 clients plus 2 dogs, with 2 other dogs generally on the floor and Lisbet & Nils in the loft. Each cabin also had a woodstove, ensuring a warm environment in which all wet gear could be dried overnight. The warmth was also nice for ducking in and out of the cabin to see the northern lights. The aurora sent streaks from all points of the compass, and with the dark skies, you could see it along the entire 360-degree horizon. Magical!
We’re hoping to do another dogsledding trip with them again, this time an even longer one. Highly recommend Arctic Dog Adventure Company.
翻译:在白山(White Mountains)的精彩多日狗拉雪橇之旅中,我们体验了由利斯贝特(Lisbet)带领的奇妙旅程。尼尔斯(Nils)在雪道上提供全程支持,卡娜(Khanna)和艾莉莎(Alyssa)则在后方总部提供支持。如果可以选择,一定要体验一下通往化石溪(Fossil Creek)地区的支线雪道!
我们是一对夫妇,同行的还有另一对之前有过狗拉雪橇经验的夫妇。北极狗探险公司(ADAC)提供了户外裤、派克大衣和睡袋等装备,即使在零下18摄氏度(0华氏度)的低温下,这些装备也能让我们感到温暖舒适,即使气温再低29摄氏度(20华氏度)也一样。利斯贝特对细节的关注体现在她一次又一次地预先考虑到了我们的需求:东西总是在我们需要之前就准备好或主动提供,或者在我们提出要求时立即得到满足。雪道上的服务水平非常高,确保了我们全程温暖、水分充足、食物充足且安全。由于这是我们第一次体验狗拉雪橇,所以需要一些时间来学习。如果ADAC能推荐一个“如何驾驶狗拉雪橇”的视频,或许会有帮助。当然,你需要相当的抓握力(当雪橇翻倒时,要抓住六只急于继续拉的狗可不是件容易的事!)。小木屋温馨舒适,各有特色:三间小木屋都配备了足够多的齐膝卧铺,可供四位客人和两只狗使用,另外两只狗通常睡在地板上,而利斯贝特和尼尔斯则睡在阁楼上。每间小木屋都配有柴火炉,确保温暖的环境,所有潮湿的装备都可以在一夜之间晾干。温暖的环境也方便我们随时进出小木屋欣赏北极光。极光从四面八方划出道道光迹,在漆黑的夜空下,你可以360度全方位地欣赏到它。真是太神奇了!
我们希望再次参加他们的狗拉雪橇之旅,这次要安排更长的行程。强烈推荐北极狗探险公司!
