This was the first time in about 10 years that there was enough snow to hold sled dog races here in Arizona. By late morning, the snow got pretty mushy and the dogs got hot, but everyone had fun.

A race like that in AZ? I never heard of such a thing. Cool action shot and overall I like the processing except for the slight haloing around the guy.

They look hot, but I hear those dogs are the happiest when they are working out in the snow like this. Having just been snow shoeing, I can appreciate how hot one gets -- in ANY temperature when going any distance in the snow.

And like everyone else, who'd have thunk: In Arizona! I think southern Arizona too much defines people's perception of Arizona. Northern Arizona is a completely different place, isn't it.

Snow and Arizona are not words people generally associate with each other. Looks like the dogs were having a blast, and looks like you caught the sled airborne!

great shot looks like they are moving fast with the sled off the ground like it is.

Sled racing in Arizona. I would never have guessed. The snow looks a bit glossy, it's hard to catch. Good capture of the event though.
