The purpose of the sled is to carry people and supplies over the snow. The traditional materials for sled construction included wood, bone, sinew, and rawhide. Steel bolts came later, and were followed by plastics, aluminum, and today, materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. Regardless of the materials, all modern dog sleds have certain common characteristics. These characteristics include: Runners the skis that slide along the snow and support the rest of the sled. Runners traditionally were made of wood or wood laminate, but aluminum and other composite materials are becoming popular. Contemporary dog sleds have plastic on the bottom of the runner. This provides a slick surface and reduces drag. The plastic slides on and off easily, facilitating quick changing. Cargo Bed the portion of the sled designed for carrying the load. Most sleds have

Dog Sled Tours Around the World: Reliving History with Huskies Huskies and dogsleds are as least as visible a part of our history as prospectors, dance hall girls and sternwheelers, and their contributions to the development of the Northern frontier have been enormous. Mushing has also been an extremely popular sport ever since the first large race at Nome in 1908, and now races, from small local sprint races to Minnesota's John Beargrease Marathon , to the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest and Iditarod , draw millions of enthusiasts every year. That popularity has spread around the world, and whether you're in Alaska, Ontario or Sweden, there are opportunities to experience the excitement of mushing.

THE IDITAROD Fact, Not Fiction Dr. John Bramante's pro-Iditarod response to April 1st story in ADN Letter from Dr. Michael Davis , who was NOT happy to discover his name and asthma research was being used by race opponents. I think you'll find it interesting. As a teacher and dog lover, I'd enjoyed teaching Gary Paulsen's Woodsong (a work of FICTION, as is Winterdance ) and a unit on the Iditarod race for some time before it was brought to my attention that the race was controversial. Surprised and a bit horrified, thinking that I'd possibly been indirectly supporting something abusive, I began to research the subject, reading everything I could put my hands on ( reference list ), talking to both race critics and supporters, as well as those who've attended and competed in the race, plus using my own common sense. Then, in March 2000, I made the journey to Alaska (at my own expense) to check out things firsthand, returning in the summer and again for Iditarod 2001. My conclusions? While the Iditarod may not be perfect, no sport is, it isn’t the horror story its critics painted it to be, either. Others have done the same, including teachers Ann Morgan and Aarin Holmes. Attacked by activists prior to her trip, Morgan focused on their concerns and addresses them
