Welcome 2020 Iditarod - Check in Here :)

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!

Hi, all! Popping in to check everyone's TTP while I work on my own. I hope to do better than I did for YQ. That was a pretty dismal showing on my part. Ugh. Sorry to hear Jeff King won't be on the trail this year. Like FDF and others have said, it's a blessing he wasn't out on the trail when things went south for him. Yow.

Okay. So, let's check out those TTP. I need some inspiration...and help. Lots and lots of help!

Sadly, I've never had a relationship with the snow trout, TSFR. Any other bits of advice for she who needs all the help she can get?

Hello from Soldotna, Alaska to all that are here.
Looking forward to a very addictive Iditarod :)
I had planned on joining the volunteers and helping on the trail, but something going on so I can't get away :(
Glad to be part of this great group again this year.
Retired and loving every second of it

Hi Buds! I planned to be in chat last night and listen to the banquet, but fell asleep. I'm also at a loss for how to choose on ten. So many good teams. I chose my Fantasy mushing team early. Still shuffling my ttp.

Greetings! I hope everyone has had a great year.

I am so excited for all the snow on the trail, should be a very different race than the last few years. I'm also curious as to how the new management will handle this year's race.
