We are confident that you will find our products to be of top quality as we strive to use only the best materials available with excellent craftsmanship made by mushers at our shop here in Maine.
One of the most important items of the mandatory equipment is the Vet Book. It's a notebook that the musher keeps notes on each dog. It contains how the dogs are running, what and how they are eating, and anything important about each dog that would indicate to the musher and to the vets how the dogs are performing.
In 2012, Brent Sass won Rookie of the Year at the Iditarod, one of the planet's most extreme races. The dog musher has run almost a dozen 1,000-mile races and he knows the right gear can mean the difference between life and death. These are the items he deems worthy of going on his sled.
The philosophy behind all of our dog equipment is to keep it as simple as possible. Thanks in part to our own "research and development" kennel and input from customers we have streamlined the new catalog. We added some new products and discontinued others.
Furthermore, in choosing your dog sledding equipments you must often remember that not all expensive materials are durable or long-lasting, since good quality.
At Black Ice we look forward to cool weather and the opportunity to hear from our customers as they prepare for the coming season. We make nearly all of our products. For those of you who are beginners, we are here to help you have a successful and enjoyable experience.
