nah, I'm not really into sledding, I'm a left coast native, and while snow is great, I'm not into any of the "winter sports". now, you ask about beach volleyball, or hackeysack, or frisbee or something and I'm all over it.

My daughters are VERY into it! Their "gifted and talented" teacher has gotten them into following sled races as she knows a lot of people involved. Course it was easy to get my daughters excited because they LOVE dogs.

End of January I took my oldest (10 y.o.) up to Duluth for the John Beargrease race (no we didn't race, just met a bunch of the people and dogs). While up there she and I went dog sledding for 2+hours! It was a blast. There was fresh snow on the ground and it was so peaceful and quiet (when the dogs weren't barking!). She even got to mush, and even though she did fall off once, she LOVED it. Next winter we're going back and we'll take my wife (health willing) and my youngest (8 y.o.).

If anyone ever gets an opportunity to dog sled, even if it's just as a passenger, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

Back to the OP question. We watched online on Sunday and check updates daily but we don't have a favorite, just want to see as many finish as possible!
