Skiers and snowmobilers getting along? Weird...

[Ushkie]

Watching Alaska state troopers and they are watching over an event called the arctic man race. Ive never heard of it til now. Ski down a mountain, hook up with
a sled that will pull you on a tow rope up a mountain then race down again to the finish line. Looks like it would be a blast!

The sledders only do it so they get a legitimate excuse to try to kill off a skier.

This race has been going on for years. One of the best parties of the year!

Hmmm where I come from pretty much every sledder I know back country skis quite a bit too.

Ditto.
And that race looks like a ton of fun, too bad there isn't one around here.

Very cool. I saw a 2004 800, same year as my slead!!
