Trails turning to Slush? Need one more run....

to close the season - try Fish Lake - This is Jon & six of the Snowpigs, Friday 11th April, 6pm

Just drive to the end of Fish Lake rd. Tie off at the landing and follow a snowmachine track to the left side of the lake where you meet the established trail. Hard, good trail. Watch out for the delightful glaciation at 4.5 miles.

NEWSFLASH!

Yet more footage of the Tagish Tornado with the fancy Streeper sled passing Debbie (not) Last (enough of that joke - ed.). Although Debbie's wheel dog does look like he's sizing up a quick snack.

Yellowknife, Arctic Winter Games March 2008

Foxy, the AWG mascot greets Snowpigs jockey Eilidh Lucas (Team Yukon), whilst touring the tie-out yard and start line on Back Bay Yellowknife. The dogs went wild trying to get at the fox (a giant fox walking amongst tens of tethered dogs, think about it)

Snowpigs Revenge!

Dave "Tagish Tornado" squeaks past Debbie Last after safely negotiating the "missing" post. Great photo -  captures their concentration

A fine pair of Leaders in the CHT

The beautiful scenery of the CHT cannot mask the drama: Bib 12 (you know who you were) desperately tries to hold off Tagish Tornado Dave Johnson who has just passed Debbie Last (but she wasn't, although I am sure she must be tired of those jokes by now - of course, it's all Fred's fault)

"Oi! Who d'you think you're looking at?"
