Camping at 40 below zero, getting lost in a blizzard, tangling with moose and relying on the skill and savvy of dogs is all part of being an Iditarod musher. What can we expect from this year’s field of racers? How have trail conditions and sled designs changed over the decades? And who’s trail stories are the most…hellacious? It’s all about the Iditarod when race icons DeeDee Jonrowe and Libby Riddles join us for the next Talk of Alaska.
