These results were sent to me by Tom Rueter, President of the Saint Bernard Club of Alaska. See their web site at http://www.alaska.net/~sbcak for other results, their rules, some history, etc. A quick glance and it appears their rules are very similar to IWPA; however, they pull 25' instead of 16'. I assume the following pull is on snow?
