Freshies

Fun shot from the front of the happy sled dogs towing me to the end of a "fresh tracks" outing this morning.

"Love laying fresh tracks!" declares the happy trio!

We were first on the upper elevation trails on Peak 7 and found ourselves laying fresh tracks all morning long. Beautiful shot of my fun partners laying freshies:

2-4 inches of fresh powder all morning long - fun!

We did see one set of tracks on the outing - our own! :)  We did an "out & back" on the main Peak 7 trail, so the only tracks we saw on the way back were our own from the way out. With a light layer of new snow, my pals pretty much ignored our set "out tracks" and enjoyed laying freshies on the other side of the trail for the way back:

Our "out tracks" to the left as we lay fresh tracks to the right on the way back.

Today's video highlight? A "skijor minute" as we glide along the right side of the trail as we enjoyed the morning's fresh snow for miles and miles.

Here's a shocking photo - I stopped to check our time and the youngsters are upright - whoa :)

"Hey, we don't ALWAYS roll snow angels when you stop!" state the kids.
"Yeah, right, just wait..." adds Zorro.

Sure enough, I stopped once more to text Nancy our estimated arrival time and...

"Oh look, I'm shocked. NOT!" states Zorro.
"Well, we cannot stay upright through TWO stops - get real!"  demonstrates the goofball twins.

Laying fresh tracks certainly gets you some 'end of run treats' - well earned!

"Fun day - now hand them out!" says the happy & focused trio.

After a warm & dry start to November, we are happy that winter has finally returned. Fresh tracks this morning and it is snowing again this afternoon with many, many days of snow in the 10 day forecast!

7.4 miles of freshies this morning with 800 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 22 MPH.

2019/2020 Season to Date: 21 days on the trails covering 129.6 miles with 13,450 feet of elevation climbed.
