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.

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.
