Entertaining

 Breaking trail on Baldy Mountain. Wheeee!

Jack & Rudy powering through 10+ inches of fresh powder. POW!

If you know where to look, there are always untouched caches of snow on Baldy the morning after fresh snowfall. As you see in the prior photo, Jack, Rudy & I know where to look!

But, it is no secret that Baldy Mountain is one of the "go to" places to skin and ski after fresh snow. With 6 inches of new snow at the trailhead and more as you went up higher, Baldy was its usual popular destination this morning. When Jack, Rudy & I were not powering through private snow caches, we were on the main trail entertaining all the other skiers.

Flying on by a skier paused on the trail to watch and smile
at the impressive sled dogs.

It was a great day for Jack & Rudy to put on an impressive skijoring show. I love when we see people pull out a smartphone to take a video of us cruising on by!

Smiles on the faces of the onlookers as the guy in front
is also taking a video of the impressive skijor team.

Fun video highlight today with good listeners Jack & Rudy. We start out following set tracks on a Baldy side trail. Eventually the tracks go right but my intention is to continue forward. So, a simple "forward, forward" call from me and Jack & Rudy abandon the set trail to go forward and start their own trail. Their instinct is to follow the existing trail. So, abandoning a set trail with verbal cues is quite impressive :)

A little breaking trail and a lot of entertaining the crowds means you need to cool off whenever we stop!

Rolling snow angels to cool the jets.

What a fun morning on Baldy. Look at the cool trio back at the trailhead for 'end of run' treats!

"Psst, me first!" Zorro reminds me.
"Chilling, waiting for my turn!" adds cute Jack.
"Super chilling awaiting threat #3!" says mellow Rudy!
