Bio
2016
Michelle Phillips, 47, was
born and raised in Whitehorse, YT. After
traveling the world for 10 years, I decided to
settle down in a small cabin in the Yukon Bush.
After living for a few years in the Southern Lakes
region of the Yukon, I met my partner, Ed Hopkins.
Ed introduced the sport of dog mushing to me and I
immediately fell in love with the sport. Growing up
in a very athletic family and training for many
years as a figure skater, I enjoyed challenging
myself and working with such an elite and talented
group of athletes. After running my first Yukon
Quest, I was hooked on long distance mushing and
Ive been doing it since. I love traveling
with my team of dogs and spending time with my best
friends. She and Ed own and operate Tagish
Lake Kennel. Michelle has run six Yukon Quest races
(best finish 4th and Vets Choice award in
2009.) For the past 17 years, when not racing
professionally, Ed and Michelle, with their son
Keegan, 15, (and up to 90 Alaskan huskies) have
provided visitors with sled dog adventures of 30
minutes to seven days throughout the
year.
