First run on the sled.

Today Rachel burned up the trail with three runs. She ran two teams of six and then one team of five. The trail has enough snow to just cover the ground that is all. No snow hook used out there. Rachel split up the leaders and did really good with the new pairs. It was a fun day and the dogs absolutely loved the speed today. All dogs had tongues out and had big big smiles as they were running it was awesome to see. They were easily running 17-19 mph. A little fast but what the heck they have been slaving away hooked onto the 6x6 I thought it would be nice to let them have some fun running faster. It was the dogs first five mile. Conditions earlier would not allow to run the five mile loop but now we can. They all looked so much better than last year as yearlings. That one year to have them grow up more makes them work and run so much better. It looks like Rachel has a grown up team of two-three year olds.
It snowed during the day and we will be going out to do the trail tonight. It could snow all night then it will have too much snow to drag at once with the old ski doo. Better to do it more often then it is easier. the trail will look really good tomorrow. More teams to run tomorrow also then mid week as well. We are glad to see the SNOW YA HOO.
