The chute is actually like a platform of snow. the snow is built up about 3-4 feet high (you can't really tell from this vantage), such that the mushers will be driving up onto this Platform of Snow. guess so that fans will have a better view. It will be like, you know, them models walking on their show platforms!

Gate's place here in Nome is just yards from the Arch. This is looking toward the northwest from the far end of the chute.

You can see Nanuq there on the right, on the side of the pastel colored building. He'll be greeting Lance tonite!
