Iditarod 2024
Preparing for the Iditarod – Erin Altemus & Matt Schmidt
Erin Altemus is one of 42 mushers signed up to do the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race this year. With little to no snow around Grand Marais to train on, Erin’s husband, Matt Schmitt headed to Alaska in January with 20 of their dogs to get the team ready for the big race.
WTIP’s CJ Heithoff talked with Matt and Erin for an update on their preparations for the Iditarod.
