For all of you interested in the YAU 2009 I have the dates! We start Feb. 15th at 10.30 in Whitehorse. Those of you interested in dog mushing will once again be able to witness the start of the Yukon Quest the day before. It’s a great experience to see all these dog teams taking off into the wilderness. (more…)
The race is over and the results are in though the blog indicates that Michele Santilhano decided to turn it into a pilgrimage… We await news of her journey through the frozen wilderness. Winners were John Storkamp and Sarah Lowell.

Hello everyone,
it finally has arrived. The Whitehorse cold spell. Before each race there has been a period of really cold temperatures in Whitehorse. This time this period took a long time to arrive. As I write this it is – 43 degrees Celsius in the capital of the Yukon. The coldest we have had at the startline was around – 20 degrees C. Maybe we are in for a new record this time …
I will leave for Whitehorse on Feb. 4th. So, from Feb. 5th onwards I can be reached in the High Country Inn. With this last newsletter before the race I just want to give some updates and other important information. (more…)
