Crust Fun

I was having trouble getting the bag of 'end of run' treats open this morning, Zorro had a solution :)

"Just give me the whole bag - I'll fix it!" suggests ultra-focused Zorro trying
to help me open the bag :)

It was a beautiful bluebird morning to skijor the endless spring crust off the beaten path for miles and miles. What incredible social distancing!

Here's a fun shot of Zorro & Jack synchronized with flying Rudy to the left and endless spring crust as far as the eye can see. We did 3 laps around this vast meadow all to ourselves!

Hovering Zorro & Jack as flying Rudy kicks it into overdrive to the left.

Doing 3 laps around the same meadow means we had a couple of pauses to reset our direction. Well, a pause is a pause...

"Stopped, rolling!" demonstrates snow rolling Rudy.
"Snow angel acrobatics!" declares somersaulting Jack.
(yes, Jack often somersaults into his snow angels - what a goof)
"Kids, we've got ENDLESS crust - get up and go!" says all business Zorro.

After 3 laps around the meadow, we turned off into a slight narrower meadow to meet up with Nancy to handoff Zorro to end his part of the day's outing. A little narrower, but same results: endless crust:

Whee - we could go on forever!

Come along for our final stint of the outing with Zorro. We start out on the super fun crust until we eventually transition onto a short stretch of groomed terrain. Then we follow a left in the groom until finally passing Nancy and stopping to let elder Zorro off the team for the day.

Once Zorro was done with his share of the outing, I took the youngsters up & down the crust on Prospect Hill. We get such incredible views from at/above treeline on Prospect Hill!

Cool kids zooming along the Prospect Hill crust.
Magnificent view of the mountains and ski runs of Breckenridge Ski Resort
across the valley!

As I said, a beautiful bluebird morning to go "crust skijoring" for miles & miles. Elder Zorro came along for the 1/3 of the outing and the the kids did an fast up/down Prospect Hill: 6.8 miles traveled with 700 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 20 MPH.

2019/2020 Season to Date: 132 days on the trails covering 895.7 miles with 81,700 feet of elevation climbed.
