Late April POW

All smiles at our turnaround point of this morning aerobic powder outing!

"What fun, ready for more!" states happy Zorro.
"I say we keep going farther!" adds lined out & happy Jack.
"Phew, done rolling a snow angel, ready to go too!" says happy Rudy.

Breckenridge Ski Resort reported 7 inches of new snow on the trails still open high up on Peaks 6 and 7. I was skeptical of that much snow as it RAINED instead of snowed in town last night. But, they showed me - look what we found on the upper backcountry trails on Peak 6. Late April POW!

Breaking trail in WAY MORE than 7 inches of fresh powder. At least 10, maybe 12, inches
of fresh snow at this point of our outing! Wow Pow!
Love this shot of Jack & Rudy plowing through as Zorro is floating atop the powder :)

We were laying fresh tracks down low and breaking trail up high almost all day long. We did repeat one short section of trail at the upper elevations. Polite Jack & Rudy let almost 11 year old Zorro have the track my skis set while the two youngsters continued having fun breaking trail. How polite!

Powder plowing Jack & Rudy while everyone politely lets Zorro have the track
my skis set on the way out this short section of trail.

Today's video highlight? Well, Power Plowing of course. Come along for the powder fun in 10+ inches of fresh snow!

We also repeated the lower elevation trail that got us in & out of the deep powder high up on Peak 6. Once again, polite Jack & Rudy let Zorro have the set track while they were still able to open up the throttle in only 2-3 inches of "out of track" powder down lower:

Able to open up the skijoring engine lower after breaking trail up higher.

What a fun & aerobic powder plowing day. This is the best way to earn your end of run treats!

"Hand them out! We really earned them today!" says the happy & focused trio.

An amazing day laying fresh tracks and then breaking trail in late April powder: 5.6 miles traveled with 700 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 18 MPH.

2018/2019 Season to Date: 105 days on the trails covering 597.5 miles with 55,700 feet of elevation climbed.
