Perfect Groom

Another perfect day on the trails, another perfect "end of run treats" group gathering to complete the day.

"You have our full attention!" declares the happy & focused trio.

This is the last week of trail grooming at Breckenridge Nordic Center, so we want to get out on these trails as often as possible. Our reward for this morning? Well, we were FIRST on the freshly groomed upper trails at the nordic center. Fresh groomie zoomies all to ourselves the majority of the outing! What a great day:

Beautiful freshly groomed trails.
Beautiful airborne Zorro & Jack with Rudy just a tad out of sync.

With such perfect conditions, I knew it was only a matter of time until I got a great shot of the synchronized trio. Here we go hovering over the trail...

Zorro, Jack & Rudy the Hover Huskies!
Look how high Jack is off the ground! Nice lift Jack!

How perfect were the conditions? Well just come along and watch. This is a fun stretch of trail where we can really open it up for a bit, then slow (slightly) as we approach a blind right curve in the trail and finally open it back up once we find it all clear around the curve. Watch closely and at about 38-40s into the video you'll see Rudy give me a few glances as I have slowed the speed machine to enter the curve safely. You know Rudy is thinking, "Dude, what's the deal with the brakes back there? Come on, open it up!" :)

After a few outings without synchronized snow angels from Jack & Rudy, all is back to normal. The return of the synchronized snow rolling goofs with happy Zorro interacting with me.

Ah, all is normal: goofy youngsters with happy veteran Zorro.
Nice high legs from Jack behind Zorro and long Rudy tasting snow as he rolls.

A fast day on a perfect groom: 7.1 miles traveled with 700 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 23 MPH.

2018/2019 Season to Date: 97 days on the trails covering 547.6 miles with 50,000 feet of elevation climbed.
