Matching huskies trot along side-by-side

Two sled dogs in the wheel position, happily trot along, pulling a sled

Two sled dogs, one with a very long lolling tongue, trot along

Four sled dogs running through a crossing of the Copper dog 150

Cold, crisp, and sunny perfect day for sled dog race #copperdog150

The start/finish arch at the Copper dog 150 checkpoint in Eagle Harbor end of stage one for both the 150 and 80 miler .

White out conditions as snow blows across the highway

Fluorescent sign reading that station shoved into a snowbank

The first teams are leaving Calumet and headed towards the Eagle Harbor checkpoint which is ready to go. There are between 6 and 12 inches of fresh snow depending on terrain. The wind is out of the north at a steady 30 miles an hour. Should be quieter in the woods.
