An exuberant unleashed dog running around the lodge area can frighten and knock down little ones.ĭanielle Jerry and Bob Platte did a presentation at Winterfest on ski-joring - a way to enjoy the trails with your pet and ski hands free of a leash. We have a lot of little children at the Park now. Animals can be oblivious to skiers and may cause injury by hitting people or appearing in the middle of a track on a downhill, causing falls. Skiers have expressed issues with unleashed dogs.Īdditionally, unleashed pets may stray and pick up a deer scent, follow, and become a missing pet.

Leashed dogs are welcome at the Park and owners are to be commended for keeping the trails poop free.
