The trail is not groomed as the trip breaks trail for the larger three runs that occur in the weeks that follow. The trail varies along the route. On leaving Dawson it is a steady climb to the border. On the Canadian side we encounter a few areas where your expertise on a snowmobile will be challenged. Due to the high winds and narrow trail, side sloping is required.
Extreme caution has to be taken.
You will be required to manoveur your snowmobile along a hard packed, wind blown slope, all while looking down a steep valley. The majority of the trail is wide open and you can cruise at your leisure. The ride is not a race but riders should be able to maintain a 60-70 kph pace on the good areas. Our goal is to arrive in Tok prior to nightfall, safe and sound. On your arrival in Dawson your choice hotel accommodations will be awaiting you.
