The legendary dog team is making a comeback over the snow-mobile. "The here of this turnaround is the scrappy, independent, temperamental and yet, incredibly loyal husky. He provide the most reliable transportation system anywhere. These tenacious companions will never let you down, they never run out of gas, they never freeze up, they never falter in blizzards or deep snow. And you can run them to the horizon. Good teams of six gods can cover sixty miles a day for months. They'll stick with you till their last breath and will gladly provide both body and psychological warmth. The iron bead between a northerner and his dogs puts the snowmobile to shame."
