Snow Beauty

An absolutely beautiful morning to skijor great conditions atop Rabbit Ears Pass!

Zoom, zoom, zoooom we go with Zorro, Jack and little Rudy!

We planned a nice & easy training run to introduce young Rudy to Rabbit Ears Pass. A short 2.6 mile skijor with 3/4 of the outing being on downhill terrain and about 1/4 of the outing with a small climb. It is safe to say that Rudy officially "gets" skijoring. He has such a blast on these short training runs!

Come along for today's short video clip as we fly along snowmobile tracks in what was a beautiful morning atop Rabbit Ears Pass.

As with all our training runs, lots of breaks to rest & regroup before going again. The morning temperatures were in the single digits (F); you'd think that was cold, well, here's our first break:

"Having so much fun!" declares happy Zorro.
"Oh man, must roll snow angels to cool off!" demonstrates silly Jack.
"Why are we stopped?!?" asks cute Rudy.

A little further along and we took our second break at the official Rabbit Ears Pass marker. Remember it was cold (to humans) this morning :)

"Still having a BLAST!" says fun Zorro.
"Rolling, cooling, so hot!" suggests goofy Jack.
"Must eat snowcones to cool my jets!" demonstrates silly Rudy.

Time to complete the day's outing as we leave the top of Rabbit Ears to glide down into the forest leading to the trailhead:

Fun shot of the skijor triplet!

Another very successful "short & easy Rudy training run": 2.6 miles traveled with 200 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 15 MPH.

2018/2019 Season to Date: 9 days on the trails covering 42.0 miles with 4150 feet of elevation climbed.
