Nome cam is down..........

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

two things i'm wondering-

is there snow on the road they will be running up? it doesn't look like there is much, when the cam was pointed down the street a few days ago..

and why is the space behind the arch so small...? not much runout space there, from what i can see on the cam..


Yes, that's a current pic. :)

They turn off a side road not far from the arch, so they're never not on snow.

As for behind the arch, I recall there being plenty of snow there in years' past. It might just be the angle of the webcam. I'll have to go look again.

That's military time. It goes from 00:00 to 24:00. So 21:45 is 9:45 pm Alaska Time.

I just looked again. Yeah, there's plenty of snow back there. I think they have it blocked off down there at the end so people won't walk into the chute.

I rebooted and now have the fuzzy cam pic.

I cleaned files/cookies out a few hours back, was getting cookie slammed from irodcom.

Any word on BSSD cam like last year?
