Iditarod Teams Plow a Trail From Skwentna to Rohn!

It's hard to believe that a little over thirty hours have passed since the restart of Iditarod 2010 in Willow Alaska, and already teams are arriving in Rohn Alaska some  165 into the Alaska Range.  Canadian musher,  Sebastian Schnuelle was the first to arrive in Rohn.  He was followed by a number on other mushers in the early evening hours.  Click here to see the latest race standings.

Race Leaders Plowed The Trail To Rohn

Mother Nature did her best to make sure the 38th edition of "The Last Great Race on Earth" would be full of snow! Over the last 48 hours the road to Rohn Checkpoint, and the other side of the Alaska Range was full of fresh snow… not inches but feet! The teams that plowed through the snow hardly missed a beat as they made their way to Rohn.  Now comes the big challenge… the farewell Burn and the Buffalo Tunnels… monumental stretches of the trail from Rohn to Nikolai that have, in the past, been foreboding at best.  Teams should be arriving in in Nikolai late tomorrow morning.  To see the teams arrive in Nikolai tomorrow tune in to the Iditarod Insider.  If you're not an Insider, click here and find out what you're missing!
