ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Iditarod officials said they plan to bomb trails in an effort to ease the avalanche risk ahead of the annual race from Anchorage to Nome.
A helicopter, an avalanche expert and explosives were in place at the Rainy Pass Lodge Thursday in preparation for bombing potential danger areas to bring down snow, Iditarod officials said in Friday's Anchorage Daily News.
Some 80 teams will head north from Anchorage on March 4 for the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
