World Championship sled dog event kicks off Friday
The few inches of snow that fell overnight Monday was a welcome sight come Tuesday morning for organizers of the World Championship Sled Dog Derby.
Between 2 and 3 inches fell on top of the 12- to 15-inch snowpack on the course, according to Jim Lyman, president of the Lakes Region Sled Dog Club, which manages the three-day competition scheduled to get underway on Friday.
Last Friday’s rains resulted in shifting parts of the race course to areas with better snow conditions.
