Husky race in Morzine

The annual husky race La Grande Odyssee started today. Instead of the usual snow clearing of the roads there was snow tipped onto the roads making a track from the Church to the tourist office. Due to rain the race is postponed until tomorrow, but the huskies were out running up and down from the church to the tourist office.

They are in a pack and on one trip there was a small pet family dog on a lead watching. The huskies left the track, dragged the small, pet dog onto the snow and badly mauled it. It was the pack instinct, but they were very ferocious.

On a happier note there were ice carvings from Christian Burger, where he carved a husky, and an Indian. Also, there were some wigwams, reindeer, and maple syrup was served warm, laid on a bed of snow and twirled around a lolly stick whilst soft. It was delicious.
