Currently, temperatures can vary between -20F & lower & above zeros. Mushers must dress accordingly. This pic shows Brent Sass arriving in Pelly Crossing. He wears a kind of face mask, thus is must be cold. Mushers run days & nights & have their own rhythms of making breaks. often, they have a rhythm of 6 hrs run & 6 hours rest. rhythm of rests-runs depends also on the dogs.
