Well, summer finally did arrive in the Colorado high country... I put my skis away yesterday to make room for summer toys in the garage. A recap of our wonderful 2010/2011 Skijor Season is below...

2010/2011 Season Awards:

• Lead Dog Award: Max - for his superb listening skills and ability to get the 3 of us out of "any situation" and power us over/through/around any obstacle. We never could have surpassed 400 miles without Max's leadership!
• Court Jester Award: Zorro - a friend summarizing my skijoring blog to someone, "you have to read it, the stories are great, the pictures are beautiful and every once in a while you die laughing at something Zorro 'the court jester' did on an outing!" Zorro is our super pulling "wheel dog" but he is also our court jester wildcard on any outing :-)
• Lunatic Award: Brad - "lunatic" (or some close synonym) is one of the first 3 words I get from people when I tell them I skijor at speeds upwards of 30 MPH while attached to 2 Siberian Huskies.

You are probably wondering, "is that it until the 2011/2012 season?" Ha - not a chance - stay tuned to witness & read about our summer 2011 skijor conditioning efforts!

Peace, Love & Snow - Brad, Max & Zorro...
