Huskies ... A few ballads here and there!

Hello,

Since the last few wrinkles dog sled extra!

A return to coal lake cabin, a small drive thirty miles but with good elevation.

A quick tour of the evening an hour ... Just for fun.

A drive an hour and another 40 km with a team of Yukon Quest.

Branch Coal Lake:

Last Sunday, I got an appointment with both two and Guillaume Pierre handleurs has to go and climb a coal lake history to courrir dogs and eat a hot dog in a nice little trapper's cabin!

Depart 11 am, the weather is perfect: -25 ° C sun ... We put, month eight dogs, Alex and Maxine six each, and come join William at his cabin on the edge of Fish Lake. We then climb all the four through the mountains through winding trails, narrow which makes us work a little technique to avoid the trees. Maxim is his second run sleigh of his life. A little strong at first but he learned quickly! Follows a long fitted, or you feel the lack of training dogs. With eight dogs is still okay but the other six must skate for a while. William when he was ten and has trained more ... We are reviewing not happened before at the hut.

The landscape is sublime ... Traces of grouse here and there, here a wolf ran along the track a few hundred meters to see the footprints ...

Just before arriving, a little bit of downhill fun to learn to use the brakes ... but nothing worse.

At the cabin, snack Arctic char and soup for the dogs and a hot dog for us. When I said that dogs eat better than their owners! Two or three hours of poses and we leave to the night. Back even slower than in the morning, the dogs really miss drive. We'll have to remedy it quickly! Then beautiful descent through the forest without any serious incidents. We finished with two dogs in the sled as they are exhausted ...

Back to kennel to 10pm ... Nearly three times as long to go back to the normal. Training, training, training, ... We will replay but more slowly and assiduously especially ... For dogs that courrrent a bit at the end of winter !

Tuesday evening: Little Lake Jackson to ride!

Having given Monday off the dogs, we are left with a small maxim for a good hour ride towards Lake Jackson. Check the kennel with six dogs each. Everything goes well until the arrival on the Fish Lake Road. There are a small bump sled jump, nothing worse when expected but surprising when you look elsewhere. That is what has happened maxim through one magnificent flight plannersur road, a sledge him on the other side ... Luckily, I was ahead! I hear him yelling something, look back and see him running behind his sled. I immediately understood that it is happened. A few seconds later, heads of his dogs caught up with me. It is imperative that I manage to catch them or risk seeing his team go on ... km I veered towards the dogs head, but these idiots are deported as well and as I go toward them, the whole course on an icy road an average of good 20en km / h. No right to a sudden movement that I shod fall too. After a while I find myself hanging by the left hand in my sled, the left foot on the pad right, right foot slipped on the road and hand Right seeking in vain to catch any line! by the time my sled is more than one pad, the second support being made by my right foot on the road. I not lead off. I have no right to make mistakes, or fall, or let slip the other team! Especially that was empty, it goes much faster than me. I finally arrive at the down side coinser cons, catch the dog tug lines swings and stop everybody. I secure my first sled, two anchors deeply planted in the snow and the frozen sled turned over and then jump on another sled before doing the same thing. We have traveled no less than 700 m in this chase. The rest

the run goes on without stories, some fun moments in sharp turns at over 90 ° but nothing special.

Saturday, the first run of my life to lead a team who will do the Yukon Quest!

Jocelyne, a friend who lives in me sky high asking to train the rest of his dog team while she made a qualifying race in Alaska. Program 3 to run in 5 days, a good hour, and two of a 40 km ENE for about 3 hours.

The goal is not to lose their hard training gained during the long months of training Intensive course without hurting these dogs are so precious!

Retrouvaille with the dogs, running different properties from those of Peter and all that goes with (booties ,...).

Once harnessed, the dogs rest quietly up to await the order of departure. Then press the brakes and keep the speed of 8 miles per hour tonight 13 km / h, I saw no GPS nose. But it means running to a slow trot. Both the downhill and uphill. It's harder to hold on steep descents! Even

trail that Tuesday evening, except that in turn was 110 ° became a highway has two levels (stepped laterally) with a good meter of difference ... I eSite between the right and the left (passing over the bump on the road or normal), but by the time I desides I took the middle ... I have never seen it! the sled takes off a whole with me over (I was not more quickly), rotated 90 degrees to the side and it fell flat, the sled and me ... I spike a lot, was about 10m and then drag it all! But houaaaaa theft! I was not expecting it, I did the same trail last Tuesday and the turn was impecable. I do not know is that it happened! We have told by looking at loan that people had done as a springboard to jump into snow machine??

U-turn in the middle of Jackson Lake on a trail the width of the sled, saying twice Ha ... not a tangle of crooked nothing ... Heads of good dogs! Back

without salient features!

Sunday, Mountain Tower Mac fence-back loop:

Even trail for the race two weeks ago, except that the departure and arrival so are different. Always with the dogs Jocelyne.

The time has snow, the temperature a bit warm (-10 ° C), but perfect conditions for snow sports! Nothing special to tell, just a few photos and video for fun!
forty km for about 3 hours or 13 km / h. At random is not bad!

you soon,

Matthew

Back to the Yukon, or two weekends on the trail of sled dogs ... Hello

Hello everyone,

That the return of the Internet brings me back in the civilized world where you live .. .

Here, winter has trouble moving, temperatures are rather "soft" for the season between -10 and -20 ° C. Not a lot of snow between 30 and 60 cm depending on the location, just enough to make a few small dog sled rides.

So here I am properly installed, a cup of lemon tea in one hand and a box in Pepperkaker the other, trying to tell you my adventures of two weekends passed.

Sunday, December 6:

Rediscovery of sensations produced not a sledge downhill in Lake Bonneville!

I arrive at my friend Peter, online expeditions on horseback or dog sled, to go for a sleigh ride small to rediscover these forgotten senstions by these six long months of summer.
Around a tea I introduced her new handleur (the person who helps Peter deal with dogs, train them and feed the remaining dogs when the guide is shipping with clients). Alex, a young Quebec 19 years has been through all of Canada, Quebec City to Vancouver, over 8000 km bike in 7 weeks and lonely ... What a feat!

latter having arrived at "Shine Valley Yukon Sleddog" recently, he has only begins to learn about the world of huskies.
So we are all both in the direction of Lake Bonneville, a sleigh ride of about 20 km.
Me with a team of six dogs and her four.

The harness goes well, I have not lost their touch since I left Norway ten days ago that. I'm ready, go up on my sled and see Alex hang his last dog. Dogs are crazy jump into their harness, shoot everything they can ... As he puts on his gloves, snapping sound followed as soon as the fury of his departure empty sled. The rope that held him hanging from a tree just sold under the traction of the dogs. Alex was still dazed from watching. Unable to run after him, even with only four dogs, it goes much faster than us. Fortunately, Peter had his snowmobile turn to escort us on a few miles and I climb out of his new kennel, the ratrape a few hundred meters. I waved Alex has to take place on the second pad of my sled. This exercise is good when you have a minimum balance and a little practice on a sledge. But first we turn renverssons the sledge, I cling with all my strength to avoid the drop, but Alex falls down on me which makes me let go. And there I see my sled with my six dogs run at full speed on the trail. I'm mad! two winter dog sledding, I'm already taken quantities of bowls, but never, never, I squandered my sled! If you are deep in the woods has 100 km of the lower house and it's cold, you are simply dead, not having enough to eat, get warm (sleeping bag ...). And dogs do not necessarily stop any time soon. I have a friend who guide it happened (it was not only) and dogs have traveled more than 20en km before stopping.

I start running behind (knowing that calamity is useless) but at least give a hand to Peter who finds himself alone having to catch two sleds in perdition!

After a quick démmelage some dogs, we are off again for good.

few hundred meters on the Fish Lake Road in beautifull mounted to join a small trail that winds among the willows that we enmene Shine to Sun Valley, departure for Lake Bonneville. Pierre us leaves here and goes back to continue working on the new log cabin that he built to accommodate tourists.

After remaining in the bottom of valleys, the trail rises quickly jerks relatively steep. I remarked to Alex to try to memorize the course, curves, steep areas, ... For the descent it goes very fast and it lets you know where it is possible to stop if necessary ...

We finally arrived on set as the sun disappears BEHIND mountains. The lights are beautiful. When we arrive on a small overhang where the view is stunning I decided that it will be here end of our stroll. Night falls and Alex did not take his headlamp! I stop my team, is the anchor and return the sled over the way the dogs can not pull it out of the snow.

I tell Alex how to turn around and give him a helping hand to achieve. With four dogs is a breeze especially two. One remains on the brakes of the sled and keep advancing, the other grabs the dogs head and guides taking care to keep the lines taut to minimize the risk of entanglement. Everything goes well except that his fool head fake dogs refuse to stay in front of (my team then being behind them). After four or five unsuccessful attempts, I decided to go shoot my team first, to overcome the way Alex has before it to be that these dogs please follow me.

thing is done, turn back alone with six dogs, and it's funny when you know the point Takeoff of the anchor, in general we are on the sled before he leaves without you. I stopped in front of Alex, is the anchor and back again to be above the sled on it remains. Losing two sled in the same day it is already an achievement but does not attempt that here especially the third, person catches up with snow machine.

I was using his dogs back in order and look back to regain my sled. Surprise, more sled ... J'allucine literally! the second time in my life and the second in the same day. If you want two tips: Buy two good anchors and put them at the same time but most do not believe in ever and never leave your sled without it being secured to a tree or other solid suport.

This time I got into the sledge Alex, no need to renew the eploit an hour before we go to and pursuit. I hope catches up before the big raids, otherwise the little sledge dogs and return to hurt them seriously.

After a few km on the plateau I see my sled stopped in the middle of the trail, I hope there is one thing that dogs do not fight. This can happen when there is a big tangle and the dog was unable to get out. They believe it is their companions who tie up and fight for their to let go. But this only worsens the situation and we risk ending up with a whole team sausage and bloodied ... But no, when we arrive, the dogs are in order, wise ... It is the anchor in the back of a flying sleigh that eventually crashing into a clump of willows quite compact arresting the dogs in their race.

The descent that passes without problems for me then once there I will stop and wait for Alex and see if everything is in order.

After 5 minutes still has 10 good people! It is not possible, what is he doing?? There are 3 minute drive from the last time I saw him! Then I hear a little way off, crying "Matthew, Matthew, I desoin a helping hand ...". I continued on my way a few tens of meters in order to find a great big Christmas tree or hang my sled so that he stays there for good. It takes me five minutes later to join him in the middle of the descent. There he explained that he had a problem with his brake, unable to stop it left the trail in a corner. Nothing serious, just a few dogs tangled. Two three tug line has undo and everything is OK again. But the dogs refused to move! I change leadership is a bit better but still shy ... The two wheel dog seems scared. It is possible that the sled they were dark inside.

Finally, despite the steep descent, I am forced to run before to motivate the dogs. But after a few hundred meters there parrait nothing.

Returning passage through lakes Jackson and the rest of the route goes smoothly.

Once home, a small SNAC and a bowl of soup for the dogs by way to drink ...

Sunday, December 13:

The Pocker Run Race around Mount Mc Intire, about 35 km with 600 m of elevation gain.

The principle of the race is not to arrive first at the time but to have the best result among the six Pocker cards you will get during the journey. I

appointment at Pierre SUNDAY at 9am to pick up a super league team, namely: Eddy / Truck; Kluane / Cousteau; Toker / Mikey; Skookum / Indy. Eight beautiful little dog who has demendent courrir ...

I take 4 in the dumpster my stuff and Peter makes two front and two in his truck into the dumpster. Icy Waters descent which is the starting line.

Instale everyone is on a Drop Chain and Pierre walked away. A good little soup for the dogs given about 1h30 before departure to give them the necessary water. The kibble is just for flavor and few calories but also they will not have time to be digested completely before departure.

dogs are over-exited, they did not see abitude other team and then there are 25 other ... It barks across the mushers are busy, give a little secret soup, a little help in the pulp of a Ongue who just do not know where else to ... It is also an opportunity to see friends, discuss it on dogs but also fishing, hunting, ... The life of the yukon ...

Once everyone instaled, it's time for the draw of numbers. I pull the No. 21. I subscribe to this issue, I already shot twice last year. But that's it allows time to prepare cases and dogs have to follow the scent trail left by all other teams.

Departures every two minutes ... About eight minutes before whatsoever was my turn to leave, i start instaler has dogs on the line. Two volunteers give me a helping hand is very handy.

When leaving my position on the starting line, I draw on my quick release to drop the rope that connects my sled to my car to prevent him leaving. But the rope is attached to the end of the latter. I had forgotten that falait imperative to use steel rings and not a loop of rope.

Unable to defeat alone, the tension is too high and being let go of the sled with both hands would lead to the operation last week. Two people were not too much to get a slightly reducing the sled in order to reduce the attention and remove the loop. I arrive at the starting line just in time and completed exactly at the top without having to start stoper my team.

I catch the first flight at the map, now the goal is to finish in under 4 hours and stay on trail. I do not get lost, marking was done very well this year and plus I know the circuit by heart because it was one of my loops drive last winter.

The snow quality is exeptional, is just rammed it takes, the sled slides while keeping a perfectly good opportunity to slow down when needed.

In a 180 ° turn very tight, I'm coming too slowly and dogs cut the corner from the inside. They can skip the drift caused by the snow plow them, but not my sled ... My sleigh is thus found with an angle of about 90 ° relative to normal (ie prallèle ground) which makes me fall. But there is no problem, I did flirt on ten meters, just enough time to take a quick apuis and jump on it. Not even needed to stop the dogs. I started to regain my bearings!

The rest of the journey is without incident, under the magnificent lights when I take this opportunity to many photos.

I run a little to relieve mounted in dogs that have not raced this hugely winter. I was overtaken by some semi-pro teams of mushers who have dogs already trained with super Crispin Studer me double mounted so full that I run behind my sled like crazy and he does not even patina ....

Some cards and km later I crossed the finish line after 2.30am. It's not bad for dogs tourists not trained in the race ...

A bowl of soup for the dogs and go to the result to know the winner with the best Following poker.

Well it's not me today!

However, the best have only 1:50 to put the loop, Martine (a French friend up tilt) was second with this timing. "I'll just do courrir young dogs to see is that it gives" she told me on the start line ... Heee well is not that bad!

Reassembled dogs in the same way as for the descent, a good meal at Steve and Ingabritt and in bed after a great day.

you soon,

Matthew
