To prepare for their trip, the player must choose their teammate from 6 choices and their dogsled team of 5 dogs from 8 choices. Each teammate and dog has different skills, and the dogs can be placed in different positions. The player must also choose their equipment and plan the route of their trip. The player travels through Alaska on a variety of trails, and can encounter a number of hazards including lost dogs, bad weather, and other dangers.
