Daily Freshies

We have had the pleasure of laying fresh tracks in a light layer of new snow for two days in a row!

Daily Freshies! Wheeee!

Laying fresh tracks to start the outing on the Buffalo Park trail atop
Rabbit Ears Pass yesterday.

I did not get a chance to writeup yesterday's fun skijor outing, so we'll combine yesterday and today into one. But, the theme is the same for both days: Daily Fresh Tracks!

Today found us laying fresh tracks in a light layer of new snow on the wide trails at Gold Run Nordic Center:

The fun kids flying as you can see their fresh track footprints behind them.

Yesterday we had dual snow angels from the comedians at turnaround time:

"Ah, rub a dub dub!" goes the snow rolling sillies.
I love the look of pure happiness and pleasure on Jack's face!

Since yesterday was dual snow angels, that means today was woos and angels to mix up the comedy act:

Jack ALWAYS rolls snow angels.
Rudy switches between rolling and wooing (although he has rolled and
wooed at the same time a couple of times :)
Since yesterday was rolling, today was wooing!

Yesterday we did an "out & back" skijor, so we got to glide in our "out tracks" on the way back:

Catching air in fresh snow over an old snowmobile track.
I love how Jack & Rudy's shadows have fused into one :)

Today was a one way skijor, so it was laying fresh tracks all morning long:

Look closely and you can see Jack & Rudy's footprints in the fresh
snow behind them. 

What video highlight to use from the last two days? So many options. How about the following: skijoring in fresh snow over old snowmobile tracks across an endless meadow. This really is a meadow of 2-3 foot high bushes in the summer with no path or trail through it! Again, the ski tracks you see are our own "out tracks" across this same meadow. Wheeee!

As usual, both days found the kids climbing snow walls to get their end of run treats. Yesterday's wall was a little higher and in the sun, so we'll use that one:

Smiles all around, what a fun day!
