Emma Chong

Skagway
Musher

At only 23 years old, this vegetarian hippie has found that mother nature is her true calling in life. She spends almost all her time outdoors, whether it's learning how to ride a dogsled, sport climbing, or hiking for months on end. She's really looking to do all of it! If you can't find her outside though, she's probably off enjoying a jam band music show, or maybe even a craft beer at the local microbrewery.

With family around the world, she tries to travel often and meet dogs from every continent, too! Even if she ends up on the bottom of the world in New Zealand though, she always seems to find her way back to Gold Rush in Skagway, where she's handled dogs for 3 seasons. This year has already proven to be one of her best, with more time spent on the sled than ever before. She's excited for what's to come, and hopes everyone else is too!
