WHAT WE DO
Colorado Mountain Mushers engages in many sled dog sport-related activies.
Our recreational races attract members of all ages and dog teams both large and small. Race activies include dog sledding, skijoring (you ski, your dog(s) help pull), cani-cross (you snowshoe or hike, your dog(s) help pull), bike-joring, scootering, carting, weight-pull, and other fun contests for skill and ability. Our focus with all these races is safety, fun, and learning.
CMM also sponsors musher visits to schools, scouting groups, and other children's programs. We provide information booths at dog-related fairs, and various members teach workshops and provide mentoring for sled dog sports.
The monthly newsletter is packed with information about all aspects of dog care and training, plus contains classified ads.
Finally, CMM serves as an advocate for mushers at the legislative level, offering a voice at public meetings concerning pending legislation that affects mushers. CMM members are kept up-to-date on the latest legal issues in both our newsletter and email services
