Sat Jan 26th, Alpine Vet Race day is ON!

Trail was run by at least Lee Kirkpatrick, Jim Hajash, Carolynne Fujda, Gene Ennis, and Jon Lucas at various times this afternoon (Weds). The Mt Mac Rd Post managed to smack most of them over, although Carolynne sailed serenely past and stayed upright. Trail has been recently groomed by Harris Cox of the KSA (many thanks) and will be done again before the race - and if the weather forecast is to be believed (snow, and then some more snow) there will be plenty to sink the snow hook into. Although skijorers have no use for such nasty sharp pieces of metal.

We understand "The Taz" scourge of Haines Junction, and possibly one of the smallest racing dogs ever seen may be coming out to challenge Asha and Kodiak in the Pet Dog. Lee Kirkpatrick is set to make a re-appearance on the trail, after handling at the Carbon Hill, and Race Timer Gene Ennis has thrown in  the stopwatch for a team.

Greg Kent of Alpine Timing will be timing, keep an eye on that big timer board, it helps remind you of your chute exit time, and we welcome back the Yukon Army Cadet Corps as trail volunteers.

See you all Saturday, bring some wood for the firepit, it might be a cool one!
