All Terrain

We skijored all types of terrain this morning: breaking trail, laying fresh tracks and flying on a groomed sprint track. What a fun day!

We started the day on a seldom used backcountry trail and found ourselves breaking trail in 10-14 inches for now for about 2 miles. What an aerobic workout!

Zorro breaking trail in 10+ inches of snow! Wheeee!

After the aerobic trail breaking run, we transitioned onto a more popular section of trail. This section had packed terrain under 2-4 inches of new snow. As a result, we found ourselves laying fresh tracks for about 3 miles. Come along for a quick view of Zorro laying freshies!

Eventually, we transitioned onto "nordic trails" to pick up Jack for the end of the morning's run. How did we end the day? Well, how about zooming on a freshly groomed sprint track with little Jack:

Flying Zorro on the easy groomed trail as we exercise little Jack on the fast track. Zoom.

You would think Zorro got all the exercise (breaking trail and laying fresh tracks). But, no, little Jack wore himself out on the short "groomed zoom" to end the day :)

"Phew, so hot from that 'big' run! Must roll to cool off!" declares silly puppy Jack.
"Really? You only ran a short distance on an easy groomie!!!!" says Zorro.

Breaking trail then laying fresh tracks and finally picking up Jack to sprint a groomed track: 5.4 miles traveled with 400 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 19 MPH.

2017/2018 Season to Date: 17 days on the trails covering 119.6 miles with 10,700 feet of elevation climbed.
