Yes. Akitas and Huskies are among the breeds that shed the most.

Both breeds are double coated dogs. They have an outer layer of course, straight fur that repels water with an inner layer of softer, fluffy fur that insulates. At least twice a year dogs "blow coat" or shed. When the undercoat is shed it usually comes off in big clumps and because it is very fine it blows and drifts everywhere.

Yes they do.. Huskies blow their coat, which is when the fur comes out in chunks not like the ususal labrador etc, which a few hairs come of when you pat them, Huskies have lots of layers in their fur, when a hair falls off, it is all squiggley. They often shed their coats when it is too hot, or when its too cold and they shed it for another warmer coat.

Do huskies malt?

If by malt you mean shed than yes, huskies do shed, a lot. They originated in an artic climate so they had to have a very thick, warm, and functional coat. Their coat consists of a layer of down fur and a layer of guard hairs, both of which insulate the dog very well and play a major role in keeping the dog warm enough. The fact that they came from a very cold climate means that their coat is very thick. Consisquently, they have to shed at some point and when they do it can be quite hard to manage.
