Iditarod Musher Profile

<>Billy Snodgrass, 53, was born and raised on a ranch in central Wyoming. Later he moved to the Dubois area, because, he says, "the mountains were bigger when I was 20." He began mushing in 1988 and says he wanted to run Iditarod every since he first started mushing. He has finished the Iditarod twice and competed in many mid-distance races. He says, "I have done a lot of racing and enjoyed both my earlier Iditarod races. I'm not ‘getting' any younger and have a real nice team. Thought I'd better do this some more." Billy owns the Distance Dog Food Company and a Dog Sled Tour Company. He says his hobbies are tennis and horses.
