An icon in the mushing world. So saddened to learn of Lance’s passing.

GOD SPEED LANCE MACKEY, WE WILL MISS YOU, REST IN PEACE.

Everyone here at the Canadian Challenge and our global mushing community is remembering Lance Mackey today, and thinking of the amazing and legendary impact that he had on the sport of dog sledding.

Lance died yesterday from cancer, aged just 52, leaving a young family. We send our sincere and deepest condolences to the Mackey family. Know that our love and best wishes are with you at this sad time.

Four-times Iditarod champ Lance became the first musher to win the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest in the same year (2007). Known for his gritty determination, intense passion for his dogs, and for being a great musher in his prime, Lance will be widely missed.

Sleep easy Lance.

Trail report:
Slightly late, but there has been little snow since Friday 10th.
Trail is fine for running on, pad and claw brakes bite above gravel and work well, but in most places the hook does not go in very deep...as you may see in the photos. That was about as far as Jon wanted to get from the hook as the two wheel dogs started bouncing and everything started edging forward...
We still need a little more snow for safe racing to reduce liability issues....and on that point DPSAY has kindly taken over the organisation of the Winterlong Brewing Race Series from Skywolf.

Many thanks for your participation last year, and good luck for the races of this season! Further information on the Winterlong Brewing Race Series should be found on the DPSAY site.

Stay warm and safe and Season's Greetings to you and your Dogs

...Whilst home on the range, Betty, Rizzo's travelling companion from Spain, is making herself thoroughly at home. Betty, a 10 month old Podenco, had no airline height issues, and seems to have no snow nor -30 issues either - welcome Betty!!

Gatsby/Rizzo is our newest member to the clan. We are driving from Ontario to the Yukon to bring him home.
Imagine our surprise when we found him relaxing after the first days drive. He is our very special boy. ❤️

WINTERLONG BREWING Copper Haul Twister update...
..where is the snow? we have a tantalising amount, tantalising enough to lure Jon out with a six dog team yesterday...which was in the end an error and it still hurts. Dogs loved it tho' "did he scream?" "that was a really loud thump" "great tho, as the sled leaped sideways and into the air it was soo easy to accelerate..and make the thump louder!" "Ha, ha gottim "...sums it up really.

The Copper Haul race trail was also run last Friday 26th with a six dog team, there was a bit of grating from the runners on the gravel in places, and setting the hook was really on a wing and a prayer, in that it wouldn't set.

The snow we had last week increased the level to tantalising...and yesterday's result. So at the moment the trail is unsafe for holding a race day. More snow is in the forecast this coming week, and we'll trial the trail on Friday 10th December - trail report that afternoon.

If it's safe we're looking at Sunday Dec 12th as the season qualifier, and Saturday 18th for a pre-Christmas League race, and we're back on track for having two race days this year.

Winterlong Brewing is the League Sponsor, and day prizes provided by Fox Ridge Farm, Cando Meat and Sausage, Takhini Gas, C&D Feeds, Grizzly Pigs Farm, and Tum Tums Black Gilt Meats.

although the trail does look pretty....
