Look who came along this morning for his first ever skijor hookup...
RUDY!!!!!
Jack then Rudy then Zorro running 3x3 in Rudy's first ever hookup! |
Rudy is still young and this was his first time. So, we made it as easy as possible. We drove up Boreas and then Nancy took the Jeep back down so we could do almost all downhill for his first run. Also, we kept the outing very short and took 4 breaks to celebrate our fun during the small outing.
After a somewhat shaky start, it all started to click for the young guy and we got into a real groove!
Fun shot of "Jack in powder", "Rudy in packed powder" and "Zorro on packed tracks" as you see my skis snowplowing in the powder too. Boy do I have long legs all of a sudden :0 |
"Puppy on each shoulder, follow my lead!" declares Zorro. |
"YES!!!! I'm a big boy!" declares supper happy Rudy. "Love snow, love snow!" declares happy Jack. "I see potential..." states Zorro. |
A great first training run introducing Rudy to skijoring: 1.6 miles traveled with lots of breaks to talk about how much fun we were having!
2018/2019 Season to Date: 2 days on the trails covering 8.8 miles with 1050 feet of elevation climbed.
Do you already have that much snow?? That´s awesome! We had snow last week here in Finnish Lapland but it all melted... Your dogs look nice together :)
ReplyDeleteThis snow will melt too; but it was nice to get enough to get out on the skis. The snow does not usually "stick for winter" until mid to late November.
