  Help

  We had great response to our posting for seasonal team members!
  
  Through some Visa's ending and other work opportunities arising we are seeking team members in our Dog Operations area!
  
  If you have dog handling, mushing and animal care experience we'd love to talk to you about our opportunity!
  
  We have a team of 75 dogs who work in our Dog Cart Experience and Guest Service area! These are trained professionals who give our guests an experience of a lifetime! While we have no snow to run on - we use motorized vehicles, custom made to hold 12 people at one time. The dogs 'pull' the cart in a simulation dog sled ride around a 2.5km trail. Our teams use all the skills they acquire in their winter training and competitions, so our guests learn about mushing, training and what it takes to run a race in the Yukon!
  
  We start at $!8.00/hr depending on experience and skillset. Tips are often given by guests, however this is not a guarantee.

  We are located in Carcross, Yukon. This is a stunning area located 45 minutes from the Yukon's capital city, Whitehorse. We are surrounded by mountains, and lakes and have frequent northern light sightings in the spring and fall. Our staff are always off for adventures after work and days off, hiking, fishing, paddling, biking or just hanging out together having a bonfire etc. This is a unique summer adventure like no other and we would love to hear from you!
