Rare Treat

 The "snow angel brothers" doing their usual at our turnaround point on the trail :)

"You turnaround, we roll!" declares snow rolling Jack.
"You KNOW you want to join!" adds silly Rudy.

We had a great time skijoring Baldy Mountain, then Baldy to Boreas and then Boreas Mountain this morning. Come along for the fun.

We started the morning doing a short warmup lap on the popular Baldy Mountain Trail. We typically encounter other skiers on this trail and always put a smile on their faces when we fly on by.

"Hi, bye! Made you smile!" says Jack & Rudy flying on by.
The guy in green even called out "go dogs go!" as we went by :)

Come and watch the video counterpart to the prior photo. Jack & Rudy zooming along the trail as they do not even break stride to fly by onlookers. Too bad the GoPro didn't pickup the "go dogs go" comment from the skier as it doesn't capture audio very far away. Wheeee!

After the Baldy warmup lap, it was time to transition into the backcountry and skijor the narrow trail connecting Baldy Mountain to Boreas Mountain. As expected, we were first on the trails in the backcountry and found ourselves laying fresh tracks the entire connector!

Laying fresh tracks. Wheeee!

Eventually we drop out of the backcountry and onto Boreas Mountain on the popular Boreas Pass Trail. But, today we had the blog title "Rare Treat" once we got onto Boreas. We were first on Boreas! A rare treat to be first tracks on popular Boreas Pass.

First on Boreas! Rare, rare, rare treat! Fun!

Let's go tell Zorro all about it!

"End of run treats first, stories later!" declares Zorro.
"But we had SO much fun! Can't we tell stories first?" asks happy
Jack & Rudy.
