Boot Skiing [defined]: find a nice downhill patch of "summer snow" on the Breck Ski Resort. Attach your Siberians (in harness) to your waist, bend your knees and lean back in a squatting position. Tell the Siberians to "go" and get propelled down the ski run without having to lift your feet - Boot Skiing!
It's a blast, but boy is it a workout on the human's knees...

| Beginning our "boot skiing" down a "blue run" leaving Peak 9 Restaurant on Breckenridge Ski Resort. |
 |
| Looking down at the boot skiing route we are about to embark upon. Basically, Max & Zorro took off, veered to the right (following the snow) and then sprinted down the snow and off over the horizon. The human: in a squat, skiing in boots under Siberian propulsion! |
 |
| Stopping for a quick "cool off" in a roaring creek of snow runoff. We had to hike quite a ways up the Breckenridge Ski Mountain before finding snow good enough to boot ski on. |
 |
| Finally - encountered some significant snow on the hike up. Not enough to boot ski yet, but plenty for Zorro to "snow angel" in! |

| Surveying the surrounding snow at Peak 9 Restaurant - looking for a good "boot ski" path down... |
Looks like fun! It's nice to have some snow in June.
