DOG SLEDDING VACATIONS

Your Guides, Kevin Slater and Polly Mahoney

Polly Mahoney
A native Mainer with extensive outdoor experience, for ten years Polly lived a subsistence lifestyle in the bush of the Yukon Territory. Her Yukon huskies were essential to survival. They hauled wood, water, and were the primary transportation in winter. She and her huskies were featured in the movie Never Cry Wolf. Seldom has a musher achieved the degree of friendship, loyalty and obedience from a dog team that Polly has accomplished. She has extensive canoe expedition experience into remote areas of the Yukon and British Columbia. Polly's soft-spoken manner and patient style go well with the wilderness she works in. She has emergency medical training as a Wilderness First Responder and is a certified Instructor for Outward Bound. Polly is also a registered Maine Master Guide and has attended the Woodswomen Leadership Program. Prior to founding Mahoosuc she was director of Teddy Bear Day Care in Haines Junction, Y.T.
