Huts

Beautiful shot from one of our favorite "view stretches" of trail at Breckenridge Nordic Center this morning.

The views to the right are simply stunning from this stretch of trail.
Oh, nice view of Jack & Rudy catching a little air in the morning's fresh
snow too :)

This morning found us enjoying a light layer of new snow on the trails at Breckenridge Nordic Center. Along the way, we pass by 2 warming huts where you can stop, go inside and warm up. Hmm, what do Jack & Rudy think of stopping to warm up? 

"We are speeding up if you are even thinking of stopping! What on earth is
a warming hut for?!?!?!" declares the kids flying by the Hallelujah Hut.

Further along and here comes another warming hut. Any need to stop?

"We are ALREADY warm! Speeding up!" declares the speed demons as we
fly by the Kathy's Viewpoint warming hut.

Ok, put the following two photos to their video counterpart. Come along and watch what Jack & Rudy think of a warming hut - something to zoom on by, twice :) Wheeee!

[watch on youtube if no video loads below]

So, no need for those silly warming huts, anything that we do need to stop for?

"YES! Roll snow angels to cool off!!!!!" go Jack & Rudy.
Yep, the Siberian Husky version of warming hut :)

At our highest elevation point of the outing, we found a wonderful stretch of trail with a couple inches of fresh snow all to ourselves!

Fun snow poofs coming up from Jack & Rudy as we enjoy the best snow
of our outing at the highest elevation.

Back to the trailhead and, despite recent melting, the kids are still able to find snow walls to climb for end of run treats. I don't know what we'll do when these walls finally melt and I have to kneel down again :)

In close for the treats!

Gorgeous morning! 9.5 miles traveled with 1100 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 23 MPH.

2022/2023 Season to Date: 135 days on the trails covering 1201.3 miles with 109,000 feet of elevation climbed.

Yep, surpassing 1200 miles for the season! Yay! Do I see 1300 (or more) in our future. Most likely, stay tuned....
