Clothes

Look at Jack's snazzy new clothes (his new harness)!

"Aren't I handsome?!?" says adorable Jack.
What a big head you have Rudy :)

Until today, Jack has been wearing hand-me-down harnesses from Zorro and Max in his skijor career. He started with Max's puppy harness last season and grew into hand-me-down full harnesses this season. We were waiting until he was full grown to order him his own personal harness. Well, today was young Jack's first skijor in his snazzy new personal harness. Handsome boy :)

Back to the skijor outing. It is late April and we had the rare treat of new snow to lay fresh tracks all morning long. What a treat!

Three sled dogs laying freshies. One set of skis cutting through the fresh snow too!

We did our springtime "crust tour" in Golden Horseshoe. A firm crust with 1-2 inches of fresh snow all day long. Here we come around a corner as Breckenridge Ski Resort comes into view across the valley.

Fresh tracks and pretty views. Fun day!

Today's video highlight is one that shows how proud I am of my skijoring partners. We start out on a fast crust. As we approach some trees, my pals automagically slow down to tow me through safely. I only need to utter a casual "right" and then "good forward" to set the path and they cautiously tow me through before automatically flooring it again once through the trees. What teamwork, what great partners!

New clothes, same Jack :)

"He's still a young goofball!" declares happy Zorro.
"The new clothes work as well as the old clothes for snow angels!" declares goofy Jack.
"We stop, we roll!" adds silly Rudy.

In case you are wondering, Rudy is still in hand-me-down harnesses. He will not be full grown to measure for a personal harness until next season.
