Crest & Go

Cresting the trail at Sally Barber Mine as Zorro kicks it into overdrive to fly down the front side of the trail. Wheeee!

Sally Barber Mine to the left with a nice patch of sun to show off sprint-tucked speedy Zorro :)

Sally Barber is a popular cross county ski destination in Breckenridge, so the trail is typically wide, packed and fast (especially when it has been many days since fresh snow). Come along with Zorro on the Sally Barber Sprint Track as we crest the trail at the mine and take off skijoring the front side of the trail. Zoom!

Zorro and I skijored 3 trails yesterday morning (Sally Barber, Trail of Tears and Weber Gulch) before arriving near the bottom of Sally Barber to pickup Jack for our usual "group finish" to the morning's skijor. We got to practice a new command with Jack - ignoring people on the trail and skijoring on by. This is a hard one for a nosey puppy who typically wants to stop and flirt with everyone and everything! But, with my verbal encouragement and Zorro's forward guidance, Jack executed a perfect on-by as we flew past a pair of people on the trail. What a good boy!

"Wheeee - come with meeeee!" says Zorro flying by the on lookers.
"Really? Ok, I'll fly by too!" demonstrates little Jack barely slowing down as he gives the
on lookers a quick glance as he flies by too!
Love the smiles on the faces - who couldn't smile at a flying Zorro and zipping Jack :)

Great day flying all over the trails near Sally Barber Mine, right Zorro?

"Yes, yes, fun indeed! I love the trails around this mine!!!!" exclaims happy Zorro at a
turnaround point on the trails.

Fast & fun day with Zorro topped with a perfect on-by from Jack: 7.1 miles traveled with 700 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 19 MPH.

2017/2018 Season to Date: 15 days on the trails covering 105.4 miles with 9600 feet of elevation climbed.
