Lisbet Skogen Norris (28). Born in Fairbanks, AK. I grew up in Willow, AK, surrounded by dogs and loving winter. 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 Norway that summer and spent the fall and winter of ’11-’12 training and racing dogs with Roger Dahl/Canyon Huskies in Alta. I came back to Alaska convinced "dog life" was the life for me. I love what distance mushing offers: time in nature and time with dogs. In 2014, I completed my rookie Iditarod with a team of AKC registered Siberian Huskies from the family kennel: Alaskan Kennels, the oldest Siberian Husky kennel in the world. We finished Iditarod as the #1 Siberian Husky team in 2015 and 2016, each time finishing a day faster than the year before.
Why do you like racing in the iditarods?
