The Freeze holds on the CHT

12.50 on Saturday morning - the weather Network says +2 in Whitehorse, but it's 6'C colder up here on the Copper Haul at -4'C, and the forecast has dropped to +4 in Whitehorse on Sunday, which means we'll be about -2 to 0'C.

Harris Cox of the Klondike Snowmachine Association did a great job on the trail today, making a very nice 12' wide, smooth track.

It's  easily skate ski-able - even Jon could do it. However he found an interesting development - a week ago, on very steep hills he could walk up on skis with the dogs pulling, now that walking invoves a lot of slipping backwards, worse, tonight with a single dog skijor, he had to take the skis off half way up a steep hill to walk up it...thinking about the past month of grippy, sandpaper snow he let go of one ski as he took the other off...whooo..oooooo..ssss....hhhh bye bye ski, - to the bottom of the hill and beyond....

It's a hard packed trail, and getting firmer, should be fun!
