*Breaking News for Mushers and Spectators*
Happy to announce that the 2013 Siskiyou Sled Dog Races will be held at Deer Mountain/Chuck Best Snowmobile Park Trailhead. Depending up on snow conditions and the new snow coming this week whether the races will have loops or out and back. The out and back has great racing conditions and with a little more snow on the loop trails they will be in good shape for the skijoring, 4 and 6 dog sprints. The open class, 8 dog sprint and 6 dog mid may have to run on an out and back trail unless we get a little more snow than predicted. The bigger teams will need a little more snow to be able to safely set a snow hook in the trail base. See you all at the trail.
