Registering for a Wintergreen trip is very simple. Just email or call us regarding your trip preference.

info@dogsledding.com or toll-free 877-753-3386 (218-365-6022)

We’ll respond regarding availability and the registration info we need. Registration involves a $100/person deposit with balance due 2 months before your trip. Payment can be made by credit card or check. Payments are fully refundable until Oct. 1 and after that date can be applied toward another trip. Or you can secure Travelex insurance which provides a full refund anytime if you have to cancel your reservation due to family illness or accident.

The registration process (by phone or email) takes only 10 minutes and includes the following items in addition to your address and phone info, payment preference and trip choice:

We’ll be asking you about your prior winter experiences and visits, if any, to northern Minnesota to gauge your familiarity with the type of experience you’ll be engaged in.

We’ll be asking if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences that we can accommodate for you.

We’ll be asking your age, height and weight. It’s okay to fudge a bit on your age but our dogs will be upset if you fudge on your height and weight because we use those figures to budget dog power for your team. (Persons over 250 pounds may find it difficult to balance on the sleds unless they’re quite fit.)

For your safety, we’ll be asking you about any physical or medical restrictions you may have. All such information is strictly confidential. Please note that health conditions or disabilities do not necessarily prevent anyone from participating on our trips. Persons with the following conditions have enjoyed our trips: diabetes (type 1 & 2), amputations, prosthetic arms, legs, hips & knees, back and knee braces, catheters & colostomies, dog allergies, arthritis, asthma, limited hearing and sight

For your comfort, we’ll be asking about your fitness. One of the great things about dogsledding is that it accommodates persons of virtually any fitness level. However, if you are seriously out-of-shape (for example, if you find walking a mile to be exhausting), then even our cushiest trips may be too challenging. If you have basic fitness (that is, if you could walk 2-3 miles without much difficulty), then you’d enjoy any of our lodge-to-lodge trips. If you’re moderately fit or better (and could handle, for example, a 5-mile walk), then our camping trips would be a fit for you as well. If you have concerns about your fitness, please feel free to discuss them with us.

If you’re traveling as a pair, we’ll be asking if you’d like one or two beds. If you’re traveling as a single, we’ll be asking if you require a single room (which is generally available for a $25/night surcharge) or if you’re willing to share a double room with another single of the same gender (no charge).

We’ll also be asking you to sign an assumption of risk and liability waiver form (sent by mail) indicating that you assume full responsibility for your participation and that you have health and accident insurance. While our safety record is superb, these requirements are standard protocol for all outdoor programs.

Your reservation will be following immediately by a confirmation letter. And then a few months before your trip, you’ll receive our “Trip Kit” packet which includes info for preparing for your trip, suggested clothing checklist, rental clothing options, a Wintergreen clothing catalog and guest coupon for discount purchases, brochure and free pass to Ely’s International Wolf Center, Travelex trip insurance brochure and risk & liability form and travel plans & final payment form with send-back envelope. Finally, a few weeks before your trip, you’ll receive an update letter with final details about the itinerary for your trip, your guides and the other guests in your group.

Welcome aboard! We look forward to sharing a Wintergreen experience with you!
