Arctic Man is a yearly competition that takes place in the remote Alaskan wilderness.  Over 20 years ago Howard Thies and his buddies were skiing deep in the Hoodoo Mountains and placed a wager on who could ski a five mile course the fastest while hooked behind a snowmachine.  Today, on hi-tech racing snowmachines and hundred-dollar-an-ounce hot wax, skiers push the limits of endurance and speed.  The course is five and a half miles, two times longer than the toughest World Cup downhill.  Half of the grueling race is spent blazing behind 600cc sleds that top out at 90mph.  For 5 days 15,000 people turn a barren valley into the fourth largest city in Alaska.  Watch our one hour special coverage of the race on Versus, and get a feel for Alaska's classic spring party.
