Club passing etiquette
- When approaching another team, call out to gain the handler’s attention. “Trail, on your right/left!”
- Slow your dog(s), or come to a stop. Use a ‘suitcase hold’ to better control your dog(s).
- Wait until the team ahead indicates they are ready to be passed.
- When passing, skijorers must shorten the gangline.
- Kick sledders may need to step off the sled, and guide your dog(s) on-by. Do not let go of your team.
- After the pass is complete, keep your dog(s) moving forward. If you have to, pull them on-by.
- If the other team catches up to you, negotiate a running order, and remember: keep your distance!
NB: When passing a skier or a sled dog team, please pull over to the side, and let them go on-by.
Kick Sleds to Club Members
The club has two T7 Esla kick sleds which are rented to club members (only) in 2-week blocks, with turn-over on Sundays at club events. Dates in bold are booked.
