Congratulations to Asymetriq Productions on releasing the trailer for their new film about the 2017 ITI, Safety to Nome, to be released this summer.
The Rainy Pass area was in great shape last night when the ITI crew passed through during the final supply flight. As often happens in Alaska, though, a system moved in shortly afterwards and dropped several inches of snow.
