Let it Snow

Laying fresh tracks amidst active snowfall all morning long. Fun!

Laying freshies in 3-5 inches of new snow.
Active snowfall all around us! Note all the white "snowflake dots" you can see against Zorro and
Jack's black fur. You can also see some "snow dots" agains the green of the trees.

Today had a lot of fun "first time milestones" for young Jack and Rudy. Let's see if I can name them all... (1) First skijor laying fresh tracks in 3+ inches of new snow for the ENTIRE outing! (2) First skijor amidst heavy active snowfall. (3) First skijor where most of the GoPro footage was blurred by snow spots on the camera. (4) First time (for Jack) discovering how deep the snow is "out of track" and realizing you need to stay in track to keep pace with everyone :)

Come along for one of the few extended stretches where the GoPro was clear of snow spots. Love watching these three laying fresh tracks in the snow. Love the active snowfall you see all around us. Funny moment near the end of this clip as Jack wants to try running in the deep shoulder snow but immediately realizes he cannot keep up out there and he hops back in the shallow trail and rejoins his brothers. If you can take your eyes of the fun sled dogs, it is cool to watch my left ski gliding in the deep side powder (I have my right leg 'in track' for speed and my left leg 'out of track' for control).

One more fun shot after I had wiped the camera clear of snow spots:

Out-stretched sprinting trio laying freshies all day long!

Happily, most of the day's footage was blurred by snow on the camera. That's a good thing, right guys?

"Love blurry footage!" declares happy Zorro.
"This was FUN!" adds happy Jack (yes, that is a 'snow angel' print behind/left of Jack :)
"Break over, I'm rested & ready for more!" states all-business Rudy.
Note the 'snow blur' covering more of the camera, note the snowflake spots you can
see against both the black and red fur! 

A fun day of "fresh tracks" and "let it snow": 4.4 miles traveled with 400 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 19 MPH.
