Snowfall most of yesterday lead to bluebird breaking trail today!
 |
| All happy faces looking back as I called out time to take a right and head back towards the trailhead. |
We started the day at the Indiana Creek Trailhead and found ourselves laying fresh tracks in a few inches of new snow - wheeee!
 |
| Bright sun & not a cloud in the sky as we start up the trail. Laying fresh tracks in new snow all to ourselves. |
The "few inches of new snow" quickly transitioned to 6-12 inches of new snow for the majority of the outing. It was an aerobic day of breaking trail for almost the entire outing!
 |
| Within the first 3/4 of a mile it transitioned from "laying fresh tracks" in a few inches of snow to "breaking trail" in 6+ inches of snow! Happy tails towing me along... |
 |
| The higher we went, the deeper it got. Max & Zorro almost look like they are swimming uphill in the snow in this shot! |
 |
| Deeper, deeper, deeper - breaking trail in at least 12 inches of fresh powder at this point! |
It was 2 degrees when we started with slowly rising temperatures and a beautiful, bright sun. You wouldn't think someone could get hot at 2 degrees, would you? Well, think again...
 |
| "Hey - breaking trail is a lot of work! Time to cool off!" declare the snow angel rolling pair. Love the heads completely dunked in snow. Synchronized, head dunking snow angels! |
An aerobic day with the mileage limited by almost nonstop breaking trail: 6.8 miles with 1000 feet of elevation climbed.
2013/2014 Season to Date: 106 days on the trails covering 908.2 miles with 105,900 feet of elevation climbed.
