DPSAY mushers hit trail for first Twister race
It was a lovely day on Sunday, perfect for racing dogs. It was cold, but sunny with no wind. On Copper Haul Rd, off Fish Lake Rd, there was a flurry of activity as mushers prepared their dog teams for the first Dog Powered Sports Association of the Yukon (DPSAY) Twister Race.
To add to the conditions a sun dog sat perched just above the mountains.
According to musher Martin Haefele, for some racers, this was their first time back on their sled this season.
“We finally had snow,” said Haefele. “For many near Whitehorse, it was tough sledding.
This was only their first or second time out on a sled.
“Most have still been training on an ATV or driving to places with snow.”
Haefele added that the dogs were certainly happy to be pulling a sled again.
