time to let the dogs out

With the International Stage Stop Sled Dog Race off and running, Dan Carter is taking an important step in his preparation for the Iditarod this spring.
Carter was one of 18 mushers to glide through the streets of Jackson on Friday in the Stage Stop’s largely ceremonial opening leg. The real racing began Sunday with a 76-mile run from Lander to Pinedale, won by Wendy Davis of Lander.
The Stage Stop winds through seven communities in western Wyoming before finishing Feb. 3 in Park City, Utah. For daily race results, click here.
Carter, 36, is the latest man of Granite (Creek) to aim his sled toward the Iditarod, following in the tracks of his mentor and boss, Frank Teasley.
