SEPPALA EXPEDITION | Jamie Nichols | Snowmobile Sessions EP 120

Snowmobile Sessions Live

From ski-doo Mach Z to the skidoo 850 etec. Jamie Nichols has had them all!
Jamie joins Snowmobile Sessions to bring some attention to an expedition he providing snowmobile support in Alaska starting January 27. Jamie's buddies are dog mushers and I’ve been known to be behind a team. We are paying tribute to the serum run of 1925 to save the children of Nome.
Jamie rides a 24 expedition, SE 900 Turbo R. He also just bought a 21 Scandic 900 ace. Jamie and his friend jeff will be pulling supplies along the route and breaking Trail ahead of the dog teams.
It’s going to be a test of those two sleds. We will be clocking double the 750 miles the dog teams will be doing as we journey from Nenana to Nome.
Checkthrm out below and follow along.

Polar Explorer Eric LarsenIn January of 1925, in the coastal gold mining town of Nome, Alaska, a rampant outbreak of diphtheria was claiming many lives, mostly the lives of children.
A small team of brave mushers agreed to transport antitoxin to the remote village- nearly 750 miles through the low arctic interior, during the blizzard of the century- by the only means possible- dog team.
No dogteam did more to save the children of Nome than the Siberian dogs of Norwegian immigrant, Leonhard Seppala.
With his famed leader, Togo, Seppala mushed over 261 miles in the relay- and risked the treacherous Norton Bay Sea Ice twice in the effort.
January of 2025 marks the one hundred year anniversary of their heroism.
To commemorate this historic event, US Marine, explorer, high school teacher and minister, Jonathan Nathaniel Hayes will lead a dogsled expedition- retracing the entire original 750 mile route during the darkest and coldest time of year, across Alaska’s frozen arctic interior, across the Norton Bay sea ice to the village of Nome, Alaska.
