Snow Angels

Jack & Rudy catching some serious air flying along the Gluteus Maximus nordic trail:

"Whee, we can fly!" says the impressive hover huskies.

For today's outing, temperatures were above freezing the entire time. Sure it was still in the 30s (F) but above freezing. That is HOT to Jack & Rudy. I knew we were in for some serious rolling of snow angels to cool off at any turnaround point during the outing!

Sure enough, turnaround point #1 and we got "Snow Angels with a View" from the funny kids:

"Gotta hop off trail into deeper snow to roll and cool off!" declares the
sillies. Nice mountain views in the background too!

Then it was back to skijoring and flooring it at every chance along the way:

Zipping along with more nice views! Wheeee!

Then, we got to turnaround point #2 of the day. Well, Jack & Rudy were clearly "on fire" by this point and really needed to roll, roll and roll some more to cool off. Typically they roll snow angels for about 5 to 15 seconds before hopping back up to start running again. Well, not today! Come along and watch today's video highlight to see for yourselves. The clip starts out with us approaching turnaround point #2. Now watch as the goofs proceed to roll, roll and roll again for almost an entire minute! Finally, if your volume is on, you'll hear Rudy sing one of his beautiful WOOs to end the clip. What silly kids!

Then it was back to skijoring again until we came upon turnaround point #3. What do you think happened? 

"HA! Fooled you! We didn't drop & roll at point #3!" says the surprising
but very happy kids.

No need to roll at point #3, so I they are cool enough to floor it again. Yep:

Zipping by the Hallelujah Warming Hut.

Finally, keeping with some of the "view themes" above, how about 'end of run treats with a view?

"Ready!" says the happy & focused kids perched atop a snow wall with
more nice mountain views in the background.
