“I grew up in Willow, AK, surrounded by
dogs and loving winter,” says 28 year old
Lisbet Norris. “After high school, I moved to
Fairbanks to attend university. At UAF, I
cultivated a love for the North. I studied in
Norway and Baffin Island and worked as a musher and
expedition guide. I received my BA in Northern
Studies and History from UAF in 2011 and decided
then to pursue a long-held dream: distance mushing.
I returned to Northern Norway that summer and spent
the fall and winter training and racing dogs in the
Alta area. In 2012, I came back to Alaska convinced
that dog life was the life for me. Distance musher
offers what I love most:: time in nature and time
with dogs. In 2014, I completed my rookie Iditarod
with a team of Siberian Huskies from the family
kennel: Alaskan Kennels, the oldest Siberian husky
kennel in the world. I am excited to again field a
team of AKC registered Siberian Huskies in the 2016
Iditarod. Thanks & love to my many friends and
supporters.” Lisbet is a member of the Aurora
Dog Mushers Club and the Willow Dog Mushers
Association.
