We’re out here doing our best to think spring… even if winter has other plans. 🌼❄️

So far, this season is officially the second coldest winter on record—and still going strong. We’ve already hit 52 days at or below -30°F, and counting.

On top of that, we’re sitting at the 12th snowiest winter on record… and winter isn’t done with us yet.

But up here, you learn to look for the bright spots.
A little sunshine. A pop of color. A reminder that spring will come… eventually.

Until then—we’ll keep smiling, keep pushing through, and keep a little bit of “sun dog” energy in the snow. ☀️🐝

Musher update!

🌬️ Nine Teams. One Storm. The Final Push is Coming. 🐾

All nine teams at the back of the pack are hunkered down in White Mountain, waiting out a powerful windstorm—by choice, putting safety first for their dogs. But when the storm breaks… it’s a sprint to Nome. And you won’t want to miss a second of it.

🔥 Catch every finish, live video, real-time tracking, and Insider chat with the 48-Hour Finishers Pass—just $15. ➡ iditarod.com/insider

⏳ They’re close. The charge to the Burled Arch is coming.

✨ A New Look for a New Chapter ✨

We’re excited to share a refreshed logo for Sun Dog Express.

Sled dogs have always been, and will always be, at the heart of what we do. They’re our roots, our daily work, and our inspiration. But as our farm and family business continues to grow, so does the story we’re telling.

We’re exploring a new direction that expands beyond tours alone. In the near future, you’ll see merchandise, books, and retail products inspired by life with sled dogs and our Alaskan farm. This updated logo reflects that evolution while staying true to the spirit, motion, and joy that have always defined Sun Dog Express.

Same heart. Same dogs.
Just a new era taking shape.

Thank you for being part of the journey — there’s more to come. 🐾❄️
