The Blue Cruiser
Stephen Frost Sr., a renowned Old Crow trapper and dog musher, wins the 1964 Rendezvous sled dog races in Whitehorse, and brings home his first snowmachine – a blue Snow Cruiser. He learns that snowmachines might be faster, but dog teams will always get you there.
Stephen’s story is adapted by his godson Leonard Linklater.
