Great pooch shot. That's something I'd like to try.
Any mushers around Northern NY, burlington, etc.? I imagine that there would be some trails where mushers practice during the winter months.
We get mushers up here from around the world, including a few from the lower-48. In fact, there is a famous Montanan who has won the Ididarod. This race takes place from Anchorage to Nome.
Now, the Yukon Quest (picture above) this year started in Fairbanks, and will end in White Horse, Canada. Next year it starts in White Horse, and will end in Fairbanks.
Anybody who is interested in knowing who the mushers are this year, you can do so at the link below.
