Taveau bests Ellis at Montana Creek sled dog races

Running on soft snow and warm weather that slowed some teams to a near-crawl, Christian Taveau and his eight-dog team found enough speed for a convincing victory over Egil Ellis in the Montana Creek Dog Mushers Association season-opening races. Taveau finished in 31 minutes, 14 seconds to beat Ellis, the winner of multiple Fur Rendezvous world championships, by 1:42.
