We're proud of our support of Copper Basin 300 Sled Dog Race

There is nothing better...let us repeat that...NOTHING BETTER...when you really need to go, than finding a clean, fresh port-a-potty in the middle of nowhere. Thanks to Copper Basin Sanitation, that is exactly what our teams find on the CB300. In addition to the potties, they provide dumpsters, like the one pictured here at Sourdough, for the checkpoint straw and garbage so that when we leave, it's like we were never there.

Copper Basin Sanitation was created out of necessity as people moved out here and residences and businesses needed those services. It's no small feat to manage modern day amenities on the edge of the wilderness. and every year CBS is able and willing to tote our trash the many, many miles it needs to go and dispose of it properly. It may seem like a thankless job, but rest assured, we are grateful beyond measure. THANK YOU! 🐾
