Crew

Sarah has been dog sledding for less than a year but has already mastered the basics. Currently studying at a folk high school in northern Norway, she’s eager to gain more experience with the dogs and work with tourists. With a background in customer service, mostly with locals, she’s excited to expand her skills and connect with guests from all over. And of course, she’s looking forward to living on Godwin Glacier!

This is Sarah’s first season with Turning Heads Kennel on Godwin Glacier!

Rachel grew up on a farm in upstate New York, where she spent countless hours exploring the fields and woods behind her parent’s house. After earning her BA from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY, she set off on seasonal adventures as a guide and outdoor educator across the country.

Her first taste of dog sledding came right here on Godwin Glacier in the summer of 2023. Since then, she’s taught cross-country skiing in Maine, worked as a paddleboard instructor in Colorado, and even raced sled dogs in Idaho. Now, she’s excited to return to Seward as a glacier guide and can’t wait for her second Mount Marathon Race!

This is Rachel’s second season on Godwin Glacier with Turning Heads Kennel.

Born and raised in Bolivia, he’s currently working toward his veterinary degree. Along the way, he’s had the chance to live in China, Hawaii, and Spain. He even got a few surf lessons from a gold medal-winning surfer! And, just for the record, he swears he’s been mistaken for Zac Efron at least a dozen times.

This is Xael’s second season with Turning Heads Kennel on Godwin Glacier.
