I lived in Alaska for 12 years where I often skijored in the winter, that is skiing while being pulled by fast sprint-mushing dogs. But I also got to ski behind a reindeer for crowd entertainment at our annual kick-off to the 1,049 mile distance dog mushing race from Anchorage to Nome, called the Fur Rendezvous festival.
