The Yukon Quest, a 1000 mile race from Fairbanks, AK to Whitehorse, Yukon has proven itself to be just that. Saying that this is the worst storm in years, there were numerous mushers trapped while trying to descend Eagle Summit. One team did get separated from its musher for a period of time but has been found and airlifted out, suffering only mild dehydration. A lot of credit to the pilots and other volunteers who went in to rescue the veteran and rookie mushers overcome by the tremendous storm.
Our dog, Martin, is a veteran of this tough race, as is Skinny, who is now retiring. You have only to watch Martin on a downhill to know he knows how to ease down a mountain, as he digs in.
