2 Fun Days

We just wrapped up 2 fast & fun days skijoring Rabbit Ears Pass.

A great time had by all!

"Yes - I AM having a BLAST!" declares ecstatic Jack.
"We WERE having fun until you STOPPED and asked!" say happy but lined forward to
go Zorro & Rudy.

Day One (Feb 26): The first day was a ZOOM day. Everyone was really pumped to go and we found some excellent trail conditions near Dumont Lake.

Love the following fast shot. Zorro flying while Jack & Rudy hover over the trail next to him. What excellent trail conditions!

Sometimes a single word is needed to summarize a photo: ZOOM!

Come along for the video counterpart to the prior photo. We topped 23 MPH along this fast & fun stretch of trail. ZOOM!

Day one was almost a disaster for Jack :)  To date, he has rolled at least one snow angel on every skijor outing of his young life (usually at our turnaround points, but sometimes he just stops, drops and rolls for the fun of it at any point). As we were completing our morning run, I realized Jack had not rolled a snow angel yet. As we got to the trailhead and I started to take my skis off, Jack made sure to keep his lifelong streak of snow angels going...

"I knew the goof wouldn't break his streak!" declares happy Zorro.
"Still can't believe they call me 'the puppy'!" adds cute Rudy.
"Phew, almost forgot to do this!" demonstrates goofy Jack.

Day One: 5.6 miles traveled with 600 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 23 MPH.

Day Two (Feb 27): Flirt day. We had the opportunity to flirt with snowmobiles sharing the trail with us. This was young Rudy's first ever encounter with snowmobiles. Jack has encountered them a handful of times skijoring with just Zorro. Zorro, of course, is the old veteran who has seen it all :)

I was happy we had Zorro on the inside and Rudy on the outside as we came around a corner for the youngsters first ever "on by" some snowmobiles.

Zorro masterfully setting the pace: "Just move over and keep going!"
"Got it, just follow Zorro's lead - he says it's safe to keep going!" adds Jack.
"If you two are going, I'm not slowing!" states Rudy doing a perfect on by guided by
his brothers.

In addition to flirting with snowmobiles on the trail, we got to flirt with mom at the end of the day's run. Come along as we start out as little dots in the distance in the video and quickly grow into a beautiful skijoring machine running by mom to end the day's run.

End of the day and Rudy wanted to show some "Jackism" :)

"Ah, rolling does cool you off!" demonstrates snow rolling Rudy.
"Not him too?!?" adds Zorro.
"Ha, I've already my snow angel at our turnaround!' says Jack making sure we know
his 'roll every run' streak is still intact.

Day Two: 5.2 miles traveled with 500 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 21 MPH.

2018/2019 Season to Date: 62 days on the trails covering 336.7 miles with 30,150 feet of elevation climbed.
