finneus aungst
I am originally from Michigan, where I spent a lot of my childhood camping and playing in the outdoors. Alaska first drew my interest when I was a young boy and saw a tv series showing Richard Proenneke build a log cabin and live off the land for a year. My interest in dog sledding came when I first read Jack Londons stories about the interior of Alaska. Ive spent the last two summers at the glacier dog camps and spent my winter assisting a musher in the arctic circle by running tours and helping care for the dogs. I can’t wait to be back to my home away from home and spend my summer with all the dogs.

Michael dolinar
My name is Michael Dolinar and I’ve been running dogs for the last 8 years. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to compete in over 1000 miles of racing, breaking down into 4, 300mile long races and a 150 miler. I’ve loved raising dogs and training them to reach their full potential. I”m grateful for AIE giving me the chance to train my dogs on the glacier again this summer.

stuart preston
I grew up in Atlanta GA, guiding zippiness and climbing tours. I moved to Colorado to get out of the southern heat and found a job dogsledding and knew immediately this was going to by my passion. I took a break from guiding for a few years and joined the army as an infantry battalion scout. This will be my second summer up on the glacier and I couldn’t be more excited.
