Catching air as we get wild skijoring Wilder Gulch this morning - wheeee!
 |
| Absolutely perfect conditions to uncork the skijoring machine! |
Sometimes a video is a better way of showing the perfect outing than trying to describe it. Perfect conditions + perfect sled dogs = topping 25 MPH skijoring Wilder Gulch at Vail Pass.
[watch on youtube if no video loads below]
All kinds of snow machines were out enjoying the perfect morning...
 |
| Two types of snow machines - sled dogs and snowmobiles. Slowing to a gentle trot to safely pass by the snowmobile (who always nicely slow to a safe passing speed too). |
Look at this role reversal at our turnaround point of the day:
 |
| "Rolling snow angels to cool off!" demonstrates silly Zorro. "Really? I would never do such silly antics!" states somber Max (the one who typically rolls snow angels :) |
Back to the trailhead. How was the outing Max?
 |
| "Getting wild in Wilder Gulch - I LOVED it!" states ecstatic Max. |

It´s so bright there! I Kuusamo Finland we can barely see the sun, it´s so low :c It has also been very cold here, under -25 c degrees during days, -30 c degrees in night.
ReplyDeleteWe are having similar lows (-20 to -25 c) but the bright sun warms the days to a comfortable -5ish c on most days. Colorado is famous for its sunshine!
