Sled Dog Central 2011: White Oak Classic Sled Dog Race Results

Conditions:
The weather was clear and cold with temperatures ranging from 5 above to 31 below (F). Winds were light (we were lucky!).

The trail was sugar snow in many places on Saturday due to heavy snowfall and cold temperatures the week before the race.
As the temperatures dropped, the trail improved and became faster.
