Spray

Catching air as we fly along the fresh snow over the fast groomed trail at Gold Run Nordic Center!

Perfect Hover Husky Trio!!
Love the snow poofs behind & under all 3 as we had a layer of fresh snow to enjoy
over the fast groomed terrain.

We found ourselves laying fresh tracks in 2-4 inches of snow on the side trails this morning and also laying fresh tracks in 1-2 inches of snow on the main trail. Freshies all day - fun!

The trio was really in a nice groove laying fresh tracks on the side trails. We were going so fast that they kept spraying snow from their tracks back into the GoPro and me (including my face)! Look closely at the photo below. The shade to the right lets you see the snow spray coming off the skijoring machines and into me (the white speckles against the shade). Need some "snow flaps" on this trio :)

Laying fresh tracks and spraying the human with powder from our power!

Here we go laying freshies on the side trail. Wheeee! If you watch closely, at around 8-10 seconds into the video you can see some of the snow spray flying back into me (the shadows make the spray more visible).

Speaking of spray... Look at the snow spray from Jack's back legs as he rolls a snow angel at our midpoint break. It was "snow spray all day" :)

"Fun day to spray!!!" says focused Zorro.
"We may be stopped; but I'm still spraying snow!" demonstrates comical Jack.
"Once again, I'm in la-la land!" adds silly Rudy off by himself :)

Due to heavy traffic, Nancy was late to pick us up at the end of the run. So, instead of getting an "end of run" photo of the 4 of us, you get an up close & personal of the happy trio from the GoPro on my chest:

"We are the happiest sled dogs in the world!" declare the happy trio as we end the days run.

A fast day laying fresh tracks: 5.5 miles traveled with 400 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 23 MPH.
