What better way to spend a day than watching your pet corgi race around with other dogs, having a great time? Thankfully, there's a few folks in southern California who feel the same way. What started as a day on the beach has turned into a twice-a-year gathering on the beach as well as two days of races at one of the most iconic horse racing venues in the country.We talked with Kelly, one of the founders of So Cal Corgi Racing about the event and all it's intricacies. Are there boxes for the dogs? How do you keep them organized? And, perhaps most importantly of all, can you bet on them?For more information, you can check out the So Cal Corgi Nation website.

Join host Michele Forto as she talks about dog mushing in the Olympic Games in 1932 on Mushing.  At the 1928 Winter Olympic Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland, demonstration sports – not part of the official program – were included for the first time. With demonstration events ceasing to exist after 1992, in this podcast, Mushing explores some of these ‘lost sports' of the Winter Games. Dog Mushing was a demo sport at the 1932 Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York, and some very famous dog drivers competed, including Leonard Seppala and Emile St Goddard.

The Westchester Lagoon area has been the home for winter sports since before the Lagoon even existed. Near Westchester Lagoon, just up the hill to the south was a hot spot for sports and social life in Anchorage during the years following World War II. Winter sports – both competitive and social - bring people together in the dark cold winter months to help pass the time, keep folks active and fit when our internal clocks are telling them to sit, and to build community. This is the first of an occasional series we are starting on winter sports.

Even if you know next to nothing about Alaska, you've probably still heard of the annual Iditarod sled dog race, where teams of mushers travel with their dogs hundreds of miles across frozen alaska, racing to the remote town of Nome. The race kicks off the first weekend of March with a festival known as Fur Rendezvous or Fur Rondy. Mushing is more than a sport-- it's a lifestyle. And it puts those racing it into extremely isolated, middle of nowhere, survival situations as they make their way from Willow to Nome. So I wanted to know what that's like, and how it connects the musher to nature. And to learn that, I brought on the podcast Kristy and Anna Berington, identical twin Iditarod racers. If you're listening to this in early March when I'm releasing it, Kristy and Anna are both out there racing their individual dog teams as you're hearing this. And now you can hear our conversation from 2021 for a little bit of insight into what makes dog racing special, as well as the nuts and bolts of how it works.

Trail Blazing and Sled Dog Racing   If you love snow, this is a great time to be in Bayfield County! With more than 30-inches of the white stuff falling overnight in December followed by numerous other storms, the Nordic ski trail systems are packed and groomed for outstanding skiing and snowshoeing.  We chat with the new operations manager at Mt. Ashwabay about their plans for an entire season of family fun. Plus, we’ve got mushers from two popular sled dog races in Bayfield County telling us about how they enjoy the Dog Days of winter (and how you can join them).   Wisconsin’s Hub for Nordic Trails Two things make Bayfield County an amazing place for cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing – its abundance of forested public land along with dedicated volunteers. The terrain is varied, gorgeous and well-maintained by different volunteer groups who work in partnership with public and private landowners to maintain the nine Nordic ski trail systems. One such trail system is at Mt. Ashwabay in Bayfield. Doug Olson learned how to ski here 50 years ago when he was just 5-years-old and he’s now the new Director of Operations. He says that like many others, he picked up great skiing and people skills at this family-friendly, youth-centered recreation area. After working more than 20 years in the ski industry in Colorado, he is happy to be back in Wisconsin’s Northwoods on the shore of Lake Superior. Mt. Ashwabay is maintained by the Ashwabay Outdoor Education Foundation which is made up of a combination of volunteers and paid staff. According to Doug, Mt. Ashwabay has 40 kilometers of Nordic Trails and a snow base of around 1.5- to 3-ft. of packed snow. The conditions are excellent for Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing and skijoring. For those who may not know, skijoring is skiing with your best, furry friend. You can ski, snowshoe or walk with your dog on a dedicated dog-friendly trail. With snow in the forest as deep as your waist in some spots, having a trail that is groomed and snow-packed is a great way to get Fido some exercise this winter. One of Doug’s responsibilities as the new operations manager will be bringing in new events while also growing popular, current events like the Summit Ski Race (often referred to as the “Pie Race” because the prizes are all pies and other baked goods), the King of the Mountain Race that crowns the fastest male and female and the Chairman of the Board for snowboarders. Doug says Mt. Ashwabay has lots of youth-focused programs like free lift tickets for kids 9 and under, affordable ski lessons and $5 equipment rentals for kids ages 4-10. The setup allows parents to drop off their kids in the morning and pick them up later that day. On Friday evenings, kids can take a bus to the hill and ski until 9 p.m. with music on outdoor speakers. To learn more about these and other events and activities, you can visit the Mt. Ashwabay’s website, mtashwabay.org, or its Facebook page, Mt. Ashwabay Ski & Recreation Area.   Mush! We’re Off to the Sled Dog Races There are two popular sled dog races taking place in Bayfield County in February. Jen Dale joins us talk about the area’s original race in Bayfield called the Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race and Rob Lombard fills us in one of the area’s newest races - the Northern Pines Sled Dog Race. The Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race takes place Jan. 31 through Feb. 2. Now in its 25th year, 45 to 65 teams compete along this scenic route near Lake Superior. The biggest teams go first in this event, starting with the 10-Dog Class, and followed by the 8- and 6-Dog Races and ending with the Family Fun Recreational Races. What‘s great about the Apostle Islands Course is you can catch all the energy and excitement of the dogs at the start of the race and then go over to the spectator checkpoint to watch the 10-Dog and 8-Dog Races go through twice and still have plenty of time to return to the start to watch the teams come back in. There are bonfires at the start of the race and the spectator checkpoint to keep you toasty, as well as food from a variety of vendors. The three-day event includes the Musher’s Meeting and spaghetti feed (open to the public) on Friday, the first day of racing and a guest speaker on Saturday and additional racing and a quick awards ceremony on Sunday. If you’d like to help out as a volunteer, you can download the volunteer package at https://bayfield.org/festivals-events/apostle-islands-sled-dog-race/voluntourist-packages/. The Northern Pines Sled Dog Race is on Feb. 15 at the Northern Pines Golf Course & Event Center in Iron River. This is a one-day event where you can watch a large portion of the races just steps away from the comfort of the indoors with food and drinks available. Northern Pines has a sprint-race format, which averages about one mile for every dog. The dog teams average about 20 miles per hour for the sprints. There are four classes of races, each with a different number of dogs. If you want to venture out beyond the event center, you can pick up a map there and drive to one of three road-crossing locations to view the races from other vantage points. The Iron River National Fish Hatchery will also be bringing snowshoes that anyone can use for free on the prepared, packed snow trail and Angie’s Bakery is providing free face-painting. For more information about volunteering, sponsorships and registration, visit www.northernpinessdr.com (“sdr”=sled dog race). You will also want to check out the amazing aerial photos from last year’s race. You’ll find that on the website, too.   January Activities Jan. 4:                 North End Snowshoe Classic in Cable, WI Jan. 1 – Jan. 12:  Oulu Glass Blowing Classes in Brule, WI Jan. 11:               Freeze Your Buns Ice Fishing Contest at Birchgrove Campground in Iron River, WI Jan. 14:               Sleigh & Cutter Rally, Northern Great Lakes Visitors Center in the Town of Eileen (just west of Ashland, WI)                            Lost Nation String Band Live at the Harborview Event Center in Washburn, WI (Can’t find this) Zoomobile (Animals Underground) at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center in the Town of Eileen (just west of Ashland, WI) Jan. 16:               “Just the Bear Facts” with Scott Walter, at Northern Great Lakes Visitors Center in the Town of Eileen (just west of Ashland, WI) Jan. 17 - 19:       Snowfest Pond Hockey Tournament at Lakewoods Resort in                            Cable, WI   Jan. 18:               Ice Fishing Tournament at Staudemeyer’s Four Seasons Resort in Cable, WI  Jan. 19:               Birkie Tour at the Birkie Trailhead in Cable, WI Jan. 25 – 26:       Red Cliff 4th Annual Pow Wow at Legendary Waters Resort & Casino in Red Cliff (just north of Bayfield, WI) Jan. 31 – Feb. 2: Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race in Bayfield, WI   View the full schedule of events on our website and Facebook page.
