Chris Turner lives and works out of the AIE home base in Haines Alaska. Chris moved to Alaska in 1967 and has spent the majority of her life in SE Alaska.
In 1988 a small team of Siberian Husky sled dogs made their home with us. My husband, Dan and our two children Matt and Sarah have been involved with sled dogs ever since.
The team of 4 quickly grew to 8 and then to 30. We spent many miles on the back of a sled on recreational excursions and training for racing. In 1994 we started Chilkoot Sled Dog Adventures providing sled dog demonstrations to visitors to SE Alaska and winter tours. That business grew into Alaska Icefield Expeditions, Inc.
Since 1998 I have been involved in the development of Alaska Icefield Expeditions, Inc. (AIE) and its daily operations. As the company grew we expanded operations to include a glacier dog sledding camp in Juneau on the Mendenhall Glacier, in Skagway on the Denver Glacier and our most recent camp is the Summer Camp in the Sheep Creek Valley in Juneau.
