The Tour Musher conducts dog cart tours in a safe, responsible, professional, and friendly manner for Guests. Tour Mushers will be required to prepare and deliver a short safety / familiarization presentation to Guests including interpretive dialog on Alaskana and dogsledding throughout the tour.
Tour Mushers provide daily dog care and ensure the well-being of each individual dog assigned to the Tour Musher. Tour Mushers participate in trail maintenance, trail cleaning and daily camp chores as assigned to meet the needs of day-to-day operations. Tour Mushers assist Camp Management with coordinating tours, optimizing utilization of personnel, dogs, and equipment.
Tour Mushers work closely with assigned handlers to develop required skills and assist handlers in all aspects of camp, dog yard and tour related activities. Tour Mushers must maintain a positive attitude and outlook toward the Dogs, Mushers, Guests, and other Staff at all times.
Tour Mushers continually solve problems as they arise and function as a troubleshooter, resolving issues before they can have a negative effect on operational efficiency.
