Erin here - I talked with Shawn last night. They were able to put in approx. 270 miles yesterday, ending up in Hearst, Ontario. This puts them back on schedule. Shawn reports the trails to be in good condition and there is a lot of powder if you get off the trail - as evidenced when they took a few corners too fast.
Everything seems to be going well and they are meeting some really nice people along the way. Today's riding takes them into more populated areas, which they are looking forward to.
The only hiccups they had yesterday was the fact that one of the sleds had difficulty starting due to the cold conditions (-30 F). But they were able to convince some locals to let them put it in their garage to warm it up ($10 CDN charge). Last night the place they stayed at in Hearst had a heated garage, so that should not be a problem today and the weather (like here) is expected to warm up. However, they won't be getting 50 F like we are expected too.
Shawn will update more later, but did not have access to a computer last night.
