She will love it. We did one a couple of weeks ago, 3hrs long it was cold but wonderful. They are so strong.
Yes, they did say 3 to 4 hours. My oldest son has done this, when he interviewed the dog owner/trainer for an article. Looks like the best conditions for the ride, the track through Rothiemurcas has good snow.

Heading for Cairngorm on Friday, skiing with both of the lads on Saturday. The OH is having a husky sled ride ~ 12 wild huskies! Have been warned to keep the Guide Dog well clear, they will eat it!

I skied Cairngorm yesterday and conditions were very good across the mountain. Apart from a little bit of lumpy ice at the edges of White Lady it was firm packed snow above Sheiling station. Unfortunately because of the huge amount of snow during the last 2 months, White Lady now ends below the M1 Poma, not above it as usual, so you have to either ski off the mountain or side step up to the Cas t-bar.
On the West Wall side of the range there is still some good off-piste skiing (although a little tracked) but the snow flurries keep freshening things up.
I saw more ice on the reds and blacks in Alpe d'Huez last month than I have seen in Scotland so folk need to keep things in pespective. The biggest problem this year has been clearing the access roads and keeping the funicular running - the snow has been excellent!
