Aliy Zirkle has camped on her way to Cripple. Its a schedule she has run in the past and which has worked for her. She likes to camp out and temperatures are good for that too. The wind is picking up a bit. You can tell by the one trail picture, that the snow has been blowing around a bit. That could get interesting for the teams behind. When I sat down for lunch with Dallas and Mitch Seavey, Dallas commented on the fast pace and said: ” I wish we would get some sugar snow on the coast to slow those teams down .” Well, he might be getting that sugar snow a bit earlier.
Enjoy the pictures below, all of Aliy’s team:
