8 degrees at the trailhead when we started, colder as we went higher, 14 degrees when we finished and a brisk breeze to drive the windchill below zero. The Siberians' view on the supposed cold front was, "What cold front?"
 |
| Max and Zorro each rolling snow angels to "cool off" during our quick break after completing the steep climb up & out of Indiana Creek. "What cold front?" :-) |
We did one of our favorite routes going from Indiana Creek, up a steep connector trail to Boreas Pass and then a gentle jog & sprint all the way down Boreas Pass Rd. The highlight of the day: an untouched layer of 1-3 inches of snow for 7.8 of the 8.8 mile outing. Laying fresh tracks for miles & miles & miles - Whee!
 |
| High up on Boreas Pass Rd. The wind was brisk and the temperatures were low; but the trail conditions were fabulous! |
 |
| On the "Indiana Creek to Boreas" connector trail. Goofy Zorro deciding he wants to skijor on top of the trail snow wall. Hey, as long as he is pulling, he can trot up there... "I'm short and cannot see over the wall, so I'll trot up here!" says short Zorro. |
 |
| More beautiful conditions along Boreas - laying fresh tracks for miles & miles... |
 |
| Arriving (quickly & all smiles) at the Boreas trailhead. The mile near the trailhead is always heavily tracked, as above; but we had the first 7.8 miles all to ourselves! |
