Eric Engman/News-Miner John Mitchell, left, Canadian Ranger and head trailbreaker for the Canadian side of the 2006 Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race, explains trail conditions during a press conference in the Dawson City checkpoint Friday, Feb. 17. Because of poor tail conditions, race marshall Mike McGowan, right, announced that the finish line will be moved from Whitehorse, Yukon. Now after their mandatory 36 hour rest in Dawson, mushers will run the 200 miles to Pelly Crossing, turn around, and return to Dawson for the finish.
