Bio
Heather Siirtola, 31, grew up in North Dakota
and later moved to Steamboat, Colorado to find sled
dogs. She ran sled tours at Red Runner Dog Tours
and ran a few short races and "was hooked." In
September of 2003, she moved to Alaska to handle
for Jerry Sousa and Kathleen Holden. After three
years of being with them, she acquired her own dogs
from their yard. Her kennel now consists of 25 dogs
with great bloodlines. She says, "The Iditarod is
enchanting to me because the dogs and I can keep
going and going without having to turn back to head
home; instead, we can just make our way to Nome!"
Heather is a waitress and tour guide. She enjoys
out door recreation. She was 56th as a rookie in
2007 After doing the 2007 and 2008 Iditarods I just
couldn't sit this one out. I have become
‘addicted' to the experience the Iditarod has
given to my dogs and me. My dogs are my best
friends. There is nothing better to me than
spending time with them on the trail." Heather is a
waitress and tour guide. She enjoys four wheeling
and hiking.
