It s been a frustrating winter for us all. While cold temps and snow is nothing abnormal about a typical Midwest winter, we all still get to a point where we are just tired of it. But those who have to deal with the snow or people who get stuck in it probably get sick of winter quicker than anyone.

OAKLAND-WAWANESA For the last 10 years, Westman resident Alyssa Strutt has been tearing up the trails of southern Manitoba with her team of four-legged friends, which has only grown in size throughout the decade.
Strutt told the Sun on Tuesday that her journey into the sport of mushing didn’t begin because of some long-standing family tradition that she felt obliged to continue. Instead, it stemmed from her own natural love of dogs and the great outdoors, which she decided to combine in around 2010 by attaching her border collie and husky to a kicksled.

The Yellow Quill Trail, also written Yellowquill, is named after Chief Yellow Quill, who led Saulteaux First Nations living near Portage la Prairie during the late 1800s, according to the Turtle Mountain-Souris Plains Heritage Association. Yellow Quill is known for signing a treaty for land allotments with the Canadian government in 1875 and for being chief of two reservations: Swan Lake No. 7, and Long Plain No. 6.
