Wow

Laying fresh tracks in a couple of inches of new snow this morning.

Late March Freshies - Wow!

Whee - the late Mach freshies!!!!!
You don't see conditions much nicer than this on March 28th!!!

We split up this morning's into 2 halves. The first half with young Jack & Rudy and the second half adding elder Zorro into the team.

There was a couple of inches of fresh snow on the set trails as you see in the prior photo. But, the youngsters and I abandoned set trails for a while and found ourselves breaking trail plowing through deep, untouched powder off the beaten path. Go kids go!!!!

Beautiful shot of trail breaking Jack & Rudy as we plow through
deep snow off the beaten path!

After doing an off trail loop through the forest with Jack & Rudy, we added Zorro into the mix for an on trail romp with the cool old guy. What did we find with Zorro? Well, untouched fresh snow for as far as the eye could see (and a far as we wanted to skijor) - perfect conditions!

Come along for a fun ride of the late March freshies. My partners were having a blast laying fresh tracks all morning long! Wheeee!

[watch on youtube if no video loads below]

If you looked closely in the video, you should have noticed a short stretch of wildlife tracks on the trail before us. The only time we were not first tracks on the trails this morning was when we encountered the occasional fox tracks on the trail before us. Fresh snow all to ourselves with the occasional fox out before us!

Fresh tracks behind Zorro, Jack & Rudy (look closely in my shadow so see Zorro's :)
At first I did not know if we were encountering the occasional fox or coyote tracks.
But, once you look at the size of Rudy's print next to the tracks, you know it
was a fox. A coyote track would have been as big or bigger than Rudy's

At a quick break on the trail while I checked our progress. Love this shot of happy Zorro & Jack; but, hey, where's Rudy?

LOVE the happy faces on these two!!!!
Don't worry, we did not drop Rudy ;)
Look behind Zorro and you see his back leg as he was
rolling a snow angel instead of giving me this WONDERFUL
attention I got from Zorro & Jack!

Oh, and don't worry, Jack rolled his daily snow angel too; just at a different turnaround point of the day!

How much fun did we have this morning? Well, just look at those happy faces above and those happy faces below!

Whee - laying fresh tracks ALL morning long!!!!

A beautiful late March morning with deep snow for the youngsters and then laying fresh tracks with elder Zorro for miles & miles: 6.8 miles traveled with 400 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 20 MPH.
