For Richie Camden and his sled dog team, the Breakaway Siberians, the recent weather has been a wonderful treat.
The team spend most of the year training on dry land with a special cart, but they make the most out of snow whenever it blankets the St. Louis region- getting out the real sled and breaking trail through the fresh powder. Camden and his dog team suited up and ran out of the Weldon Springs trailhead on the Katy Trail on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2021.
