Trail Report Friday 9pm, -12'C

"Hey, Wheel guys: jink right, we'll jink left, let's get him down like Gael and Ibex did Gaetan!"  Wheel dog "Too right, I got gristle in my soup this morning, it's still stuck in my teeth - take 'im down!"(photo Dave Mondor)


(photo Dave Mondor) "Crikey it's hot!" "What's the matter with you? at least you're white!"


Luverly! well smoothed by Harris Cox (KSA) and his triple bladed grader and then polished off by Jon. Probably the flattest it's been since November. Hopefully the bush party yahoos will find another quarry to party in on Saturday.

However with another inch of snow today, the CH Trail gets increasingly sticky for wheeled vehicles, perhaps one will get trapped...and consumed.

Sunday's Race Officials - RM - Gene Ennis; Timer -  Carolyn Campbell - do not argue with these people, their word is law.

Rule recap - let people past when they call trail, or their leaders come past you, D'OH!

This is a ***** race, not a camping trip, if you have to stop, don't spread your team and gear all over the trail!

Skijorers - no metal edged skis unless approved by RM; gloves mandatory; no snow hooks for you  - use your body.

Everyone to show booties to RM/Timer at start line...or you don't start, or you can, but you have an instant DQ.

For this Valentine's Day race, win two bottles of Yukon Golden Bubbly if you kiss the same person at the start and finish line...my, are our officials are going to be busy :)!!!
Best decorated team/sled - 10 blocks of dog food from Icy Waters Ltd.

10 am Sunday, non of that Carbon Hill 8.30am horror for the CHT!!. Icy  Waters Ltd, be there or have a good lie in!

Rumour has it we have a WeatherLADY for this race
