While we’re on the subject of the Iditarod, have you ever wondered what it feels like to be a musher in the “Last Great Race?” If so, this video is definitely for you. It was shot on an action cam worn by Jeff King in one of the early stages of event near Rainy Pass. Considering the fact that King is a four-time Iditarod champ, and a threat to win again this year, you can pick up some interesting tidbits from one of the best mushers to ever compete in the race. It is also just very cool to see the dogs run down the trail, which they are doing now on the final push to Nome.

Trail looks pretty rough. Looks like that stretch of warm temps did a number on the snow.
Indeed! Trail conditions are said to be the worst in years, with not as much snow as the mushers would like.
