Ice Walk, Snowshoeing & Dog Sledding

Introduction

Home On The Range Adventure Tours’ team building programs are unique, challenging, fun and keep everyone involved. We can combine a selection of activities to create one-half day or whole day event. These activities can of course be extended to incorporate as many one-half or whole days as desired. And, we can divide your group into any number of teams that will spend the day competing in, enjoying, and learning from an assortment of events and challenges.

Many of our activities can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, making them perfect for breakout sessions, though most of our exercises are somewhat longer. Groups can often complete 3 - 4 of our individual events within an hour to an hour and a half, and can comfortably complete 5 of our events within a three hour time frame. All of our activities are easily adaptable to group size and many can be conducted either indoors or outdoors.

Pricing will vary depending on the number of individuals participating in an event, on the length of the event, and on the particular team building event selected. Ask our expert event planners for an exact price based on your group and your specific choice of programs.

Here are other exciting ideas as to how to spend one-half day with your team.

Driving the teams, with the friendly and experienced guides, is optional. And, if driving a dog team doesn't appeal to you then perhaps cuddling up in a cozy sled and letting a fellow group member drive sounds like a better idea. In addition to time on a stunning mountain trail you will warm up by the campfire while enjoying our famous "Mystery Cookies" and sipping hot apple cider.

The Sunfeather Winterlude

(5.5 – 6 hours total time - 4 hour ride)

This half-day excursion is surely our most popular! Enjoy the exciting, enchanting and picturesque trail system meandering through entwined forests of towering, wintry black spruce. Stop to savor slow roasted deli smokies and other delicacies done up Canadian style. Afterwards, glide along whimsical trails adjacent to the mystic Goat Creek. You'll have plenty of time to perfect your driving skills along the trails.

Snowy Mountain Winter Village

A unique experience in the snow! A true snow day, this program offers a two hour dog sledding program, an hour out on the trail, then a warm campfire with hot apple cider and cookies.
