SARANAC LAKE - "If it had
stayed cold, we would have made
it," Saranac Lake Area Chamber of
Commerce Executive Director Sue
Dyer said of the cancelled 5th Annual ALPO International Sled Dog
Championships that were scheduled
for the Lake Clear race trails this
coming weekend.
'The super-human effort of the
entire area was not enough to match
Mother nature's capricious whims
this year. The race course at Lake
Clear and its backup on Lower
Saranac Lake are dangerous at best
or in places do not exist at all,"
Dyer, who is also race manager,
said in a release prepared for a
Monday press conference.
Crews have been'working since
last Wednesday to bring snow to the
trail. Dyer said about \y% miles
were laid with six to eight inches of
snow, but on Sunday the snow lost
out to warm temperatures and rain.
Dyer conceded to the forces of
nature and called off the hauling of
snow Sunday at 4 p.m.
The towns of Harrietstown,
Brighton, North Elba and Frankin;
soring Allen Products Company for
the extraordinary effort put forth to
put on a quality race.
In order to maintain its reputation
of holding quality racing, Dyer said
it was essential to cancel the race
which draws the best sled drivers
and dog teams from the racing circut. Dyer said the local trail is considered equal to or better than
Alaskan racing trails.
This is the second time in three
years that the races were postponed
due to poor weather conditions. The
1980 event fell victim to the weather
with only the five- and seven-dog
races were held.
Dyer said the sponsor decided not
to postpone the races this year, but
to cancel. She said the decison was
made because the extended weather
forcast is not attractive and because
world class competitors would be
lost. Because the world class racers
travel a circuit, changing the date
would mean losing that group which
represents 25 percent of the racers.

weekend. It was going to be our shot

in the arm to get us through the
winter," Dyer said.
According to Dyer, the races give
a $250,000 boost to the area
economy. She said Saranac Lake
motels were booked full and
restaurants were planning on the
heavy weekend business from spec*
tators and racers.
While ALPO has $30,000 planned
for the total purse. Dyer said the
sponsor's investment was probably
tripled through trophies, hats, buttons and public relations spending.
But she said many of the items may
be salvaged for next year when she
hopes to unpack the $2,0M worth of
trophies.
The annual event usually draws
about 500 people to the area and in*
volves a team of 200 volunteers to
carry out the weekend schedule.
The Saranac Lake races were not
the only dog sled competitions to be
threatened by mother mature this
year. Races scheduled for Kirkland,
Quebec are facing the same problems as is Laconia, N. H. where
races are planned in two weeks.
