Nicole Lombardi

Nicole got involved in mushing when she was looking for a canine running partner and ended up with an Alaskan Husky. The rest materialized the way you would imagine: a) anthropomorphic feelings your dog is lonely b) the acquisition of a second sled dog c) the realization your dogs aren’t tired after running with you and you need to reevaluate their exercise plan before they ruin all the furniture d) quit your job and move to Montana, so sled dogs can be sled dogs!

Nicole's goals for the future include representing her dogs to the best of her abilities, maintain a happy healthy competitive dog team, and continue to advance her knowledge and capability.
