A personal winter adventure that’s exciting, immersive, and unforgettable
Dogsledding is often pictured as a shared experience — families bundled together, groups laughing as they head out on the trail. But there’s a version of this adventure many travelers don’t realize exists.
Dogsledding solo.
For non-skiers, travelers craving a reset, or anyone looking for a different way to experience winter in the mountains, going solo offers something rare in a ski town: a dogsledding experience that feels intentional, immersive, and genuinely memorable.
A Treat-Yourself Kind of Adventure
No syncing plans with the rest of your travel group.
No waiting around while others squeeze in one more run.
No feeling like your day is built around someone else’s agenda.
While solo guests are paired with a small group on tour, the experience still feels personal and focused. You’re free to engage fully — taking in the scenery, learning about the dogs, and enjoying the momentum of the ride without the background noise of a busy resort day.
Our dogsledding tours follow a relay-style format, which means guests take turns driving and riding throughout the experience. It’s an intentional structure that keeps the tour engaging, interactive, and easy to enjoy — whether you arrive solo or with a group.

It’s not about isolating yourself.
It’s about giving yourself space to be fully present for the experience — and letting the adventure meet you where you are.
The Perfect Break for Non-Skiers (and the Quiet Rebels of the Group)
Let’s be honest — not everyone wants to ski all day.
If you’re traveling with a crew of dedicated “hill rats,” dogsledding solo offers an equally exciting mountain experience without lift lines, crowded lodges, or long waits. You still get real winter terrain, hands-on adventure, and incredible views — just in a way that feels more grounded and intentional.
It’s not a backup plan.
It’s a different kind of highlight.
Many guests tell us it’s the story they end up sharing most when the trip is over.
Why Solo Spots Are Often Available — Even Last Minute
Dogsledding at Good Times Adventures often books out weeks in advance, especially for families and larger groups. But here’s the insider detail many travelers don’t realize:
Solo spots are often available with short notice — and sometimes even the day of.
Because sled teams are built around capacity, individual seats are sometimes the last to fill. That makes dogsledding solo a rare opportunity for travelers with flexible schedules, spontaneous planners, or those who decide after arriving that they want to add something truly special to their trip.
It’s also an experience that’s easy to work into your plans. Our location is just a short drive from Breckenridge and simple to reach without navigating resort traffic or lift-area congestion — making it a natural option for non-ski days, rest days, or last-minute inspiration.

If your schedule has some flexibility, it’s always worth checking availability — even once you’re already in town.
A More Immersive Way to Experience Dogsledding
Going solo subtly changes the dynamic — in the best way.
You have more opportunity to:
- Connect with the dogs and learn their personalities
- Ask questions and engage with your guide
- Take in the trail, the terrain, and the movement of the team
- Stay fully tuned into the experience from start to finish
Many solo guests are surprised by how engaging and energizing the ride feels — focused, exciting, and deeply memorable without feeling rushed or overwhelming.
It’s dogsledding with room to breathe — and room to take it all in.
When You Need a Reset from the Slopes
Even for skiers, solo dogsledding can be the perfect way to round out a mountain trip.
If your legs need a break, or you’re looking for something different between ski days, dogsledding offers contrast without compromise. You’re still outside. Still in the mountains. Still part of a real winter adventure — just without the crowds.
It’s a change of pace that adds depth to the trip, not downtime.
Who Solo Dogsledding Is Perfect For
Solo dogsledding is especially well-suited for travelers who:
- Are visiting Breckenridge with skiers but don’t ski themselves
- Want a hands-on winter experience beyond the resort
- Are traveling solo or have flexibility in their plans
- Appreciate experiences that feel intentional and engaging
- Love having a great story to tell when the day is done
If any of this sounds up your alley, this experience was made for you.
