“This is the most I’ve enjoyed running dogs in a long time,” Alix Crittenden said.
Given Thursday's endless blue skies, mountain views and the packed powder surface, the pleasure is understandable. The morning temperatures hovered around 0°F, very different from three days ago
when headwinds and bitter cold kept teams off the trails.
From Pinedale, crews travel to Alpine, Wyoming for Stage Six on Friday and the final Stage Seven hosted by Driggs, Idaho on Saturday.
The daily race schedule is as follows:
- February 3 – Stage Six – Alpine, Wyoming
- February 4 – Stage Seven & Final Banquet – Driggs, Idaho
The Pedigree Stage Stop Race consists of seven individual stages on National Forest land trails which wind through the seven mountain ranges of western Wyoming and Idaho. Teams cover 30 to
35 miles per day on out-and-back courses.
