Trail Report!! Icy Waters Race Day, March 22nd

Loads and loads of snow on the trail made it slow on Sunday, but with the sun and plenty of skidoos beating it down the trail could be anything from firm and smooth for our Season Finale - the Icy Waters Ltd Race Day, Sunday 22nd - to firm and ...deep in snow again if it doesn't stop! Jon'll be out packing Thursday and Saturday.

The path through the pyramids to the drop kick turn will be slow though, Jon isn't taking his skidoo through that again. Not after the number of times it slid off the "undersnow ridge" and disappeared into the abysses of snow on either side. This is now officially a "NO PASS ZONE", take it easy across there and don't step off that ridge! However the volumes of snow have made the drop kick turn easier and so far no-one's tried to get their vehicle stuck and burnt out anywhere on the trail.

The League Title, $250 of Yukon Brewing's luverly cash and the marvellously crafted Copper Trophy is a race between Lee Kirpatrick (Draggin' Flies)- needing to win; Kyla Boivin (Doggone Racing Kennel) - needing to come third or higher; and Jon Lucas (Snowpigs), also needing to come third or higher; Tony Radford (also Draggin' Flies) is pretty much guaranteed 4th in the League and $100, whilst Darrell Sheepway (Smokin' Paws) may pick up $50 and fifth if featherweight floater Ailissa Ruekenbach (Huskyteers) isn't back from her Spring Break holiday to volunteer (come on, the Twister is much more important!!).

Most Excellent Race Prizes, in addition to Icy Waters' $$$$, include pain relieving sticks (and the unsuccessful challengers may need one of those - what, them competitive? no no, not a competitive bone in any of them) from J F Latour's Dazhaw Du Chiropractic Clinic; booties, dog collars, and dog jackets from Aurora Booties; Pet treats from C & D Feeds; glass and aluminium packaged T shirts from Yukon Brewing;  T-shirts from Yukon Agriculture Association; Finest and warmest alpaca wool socks from Midnight Sun Alpacas; Dog Food from First Mate Dog Foods; and of course the
