Another Zoom

Another Day, Another Freshly Groomed Trail equals Another Zoooom!

"Ready to go, just say 'when'!" says leader Zorro looking back to me at a turnaround
point on the trail.
"We are watching you big bro, tell us when to GO!" say youngsters Jack & Rudy looking to
Zorro (instead of me :) for instruction.

I love the occasional "size illusions" we get from Zorro, Jack & Rudy. Look at the prior photo and you can see the reality: Rudy is the "big boy" of our pack - look at him compared to Jack while Jack looks the same size as Zorro. This is the reality as we have Rudy (46 lbs), Jack (41 lbs) and Zorro (40 lbs). But, now look at the following photo and doesn't Rudy the Flying Reindeer (to the right) look smaller than everyone else?!?! Rudy the Flying Optical Illusion :)

Apparently the Flying Reindeer shrinks when he is airborne. What beautiful flying form from
Rudy; but don't Zorro & Jack look so much bigger than him in this photo?

Back to the day's fun outing... We were THRILLED to find the Harrison Creek snowmobile trail atop Rabbit Ears Pass freshly groomed. We were first tracks on the fun groomie zoomie. For the second time this season the GPS registered 24 MPH as our top speed!

Pretty views of "Colorado Below Us" from atop Rabbit Ears Pass.
Pretty view of the hover husky trio floating above the trail :)

Now for today's beautiful video. This is not the section where we hit 24 MPH; but it is such a pretty section of trail that I had to share. Come along as we glide on perfect terrain in dense forest until near the end of the video when we transition from dense forest to open & stunning views. Trees to Views - wheeee!

[watch on youtube if no video loads below]

Topping 24 MPH means you need to cool your jets if you are young:

"I give up - now they BOTH are doing it!" states happy Zorro choosing to interact with me
instead of these snow rolling goofy kids.
"We are the snow angel twins!" declare goofy Jack & Rudy.

A fresh groomie zoomie lead to another fast, fast day: 6.7 miles traveled with 600 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 24 MPH.

2018/2019 Season to Date: 77 days on the trails covering 419.6 miles with 37,600 feet of elevation climbed
