““I’ve been training with 120 pounds of concrete and all the gear in the sled,” Thomas Waerner, 46, told a camera crew “

No, the DOGS have been training with 120 pounds of concrete and all the gear in the sled.

According to a friend of mine who is an Eskimo, Alaska generally has only light fluffy snow.

However right now they are experiencing a heat wave of about 29 to 30 degrees fahrenheit during the day. That will make the snow a bit slushy and not what the dogs are used to.
