Sled dogs get a breather in the Rocky Mountain backcountry near the ski resort of Snowmass Village, Colorado
Highsmith, Carol M., 1946-, photographer
Created / Published: 2016-01-27.
Notes
- Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
- The animals are a feature of the Krabloonik Dog Sledding operation tied to a rustic-cabin restaurant, established in 1974, that serves fresh fish and game dishes such as caribou sausage in the alpine setting. The word "Krabloonik" is an Eskimio term for "big eyebrows" or facial hair, according to an obituary submitted to the Aspen Times newspaper by the siblings of the operation's founder, Dan MacEachen, who died in 2015. New owners, Danny and Gina Phillips, took over the operation in 2014, promising sweeping changes to improve the wellbeing of dogs, after MacEachen pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and was sentenced to lengthy court-supervised probation.
