Freshies

What a beautiful shot of Jack & Rudy laying fresh tracks in 4-5 inches of fresh powder on a perfect trail along with a beautiful bluebird morning!
What a beautiful shot!
Sometimes just watching the video is better than me trying to describe it. Come along for the fun laying fresh tracks on a perfect trail with a beautiful bluebird morning. Wheeee!

After a big & impressive outing with Zorro yesterday; we gave the elder most of today off as I took Jack & Rudy backcountry cruising in fresh powder.

I was thinking to myself the other day that it has been a while since we got a "rodent dive" from either Jack or Rudy. I should say a while since a rodent dive from Jack AND Rudy as one doing it typically entices the other to join in. Well, the wait is over, here we go with Jack starting the fun with his "lower angle" dive off the trail:
"I smell rodents - INCOMING!" demonstrate shallow diving Jack.
It doesn't take much for Rudy to join in the fun. Here we go with dive master Rudy. He gets such incredible high lift in his swan dives off trail!
"INCOMING number two!!!!!" demonstrates the dive master.
Ok, back to skijoring. We had a blast laying fresh tracks up the steep terrain around Prospect Hill and then riding back down the tracks we laid on the way up. Time for a nice view shot on the way back:
Trucking Jack & Rudy riding in our "up tracks" as the ski runs
of Breckenridge Ski Resort come into view across the valley.
Finally, even when we give Zorro most of the day off, he always joins for at least a fun sprint to the finish with his brothers. You cannot get much happier or tightly packed together than this photo:
All smiles on the conjoined skijoring triplet :)
We only had time for a short run today; but Jack & Rudy made the most of the steep fresh tracks outing: 5.4 miles traveled with 700 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 18 MPH.

2019/2020 Season to Date: 101 days on the trails covering 688.0 miles with 63,400 feet of elevation climbed.
