Hill Training

In preparation for our first race, the Sheep Mountain 150, we've been training in the hills around the kennel to get the dogs fit for climbing. Lucky for us, the steep hills get the mushers in shape too!



I apologize for the darkness of the video, but with the winter solstice fast approaching, we're getting used to mushing in the dark!
