The Alaska Skijoring and Pulk Association held their annual Lee’s Cabin Race in the White Mountains on December 12, 1999. The weather included a –10F temperature, no wind and a light snowfall. Skijorers raced in 7 miles to Lee’s cabin, took a break at the cabin to munch on some chili and corn muffins provided by volunteer organizers, then raced back on the same 7-mile trail. A wide range of distractions for the skijorers and their dogs happened along the trail, including a frozen moose carcass just off to the side!
A big THANK YOU to volunteers Pete Terzi, Joe Sisinyak and Kevin Boeck for their tremendous race support and to BLM White Mountains for a beautifully groomed trail. An especially big THANK YOU to race organizer Chris Terzi for making the race possible!
Congratulations to all racers, especially winners Tom McGrane and his dogs "Curry", "Bean" and 10 year old "Ace" and Eric Lindskoog with his two speedy dogs "Nugget" and "Minto".
