Postcard

Postcard shot of Breckenridge Ski Resort across the valley from us as we skijor along Boreas Pass Rd.

Cruising along Jack & Rudy with a postcard of the ski
resort across the valley. Pretty shot!

We had an inch or so of fresh snow fall overnight, so we headed out early to popular Boreas in hopes of being first on the new snow. We were almost first tracks...

Starting out up Boreas early this morning.
Look closely to our left and you see tracks from a jogger
that got out on the trail just before us. Almost first tracks.

Needless to say, we caught and passed the jogger pretty quickly from the start. Once past the jogger and SUCCESS: laying fresh tracks up Boreas Pass!

Fresh tracks - Wheeee! 

With us being the first fresh tracks up most of Boreas, that meant we were second tracks to ourselves on the way back down. Come along for a fun minute of peaceful early morning skijoring on popular Boreas!

That was a fun & serene skijor video clip, right? Well, now go back and pay attention to the video at the 47th, 52nd and 56th seconds in the clip. I said we were first tracks on the way up; but then what explains the "messes" in the snow you see at those three points of the clip? Well, how about this:

Unauthorized tag, tackle and wrestle breaking out on the trail.
The "messes in the snow" should make perfect sense now :)

Oh those silly kids, they almost made it all the way up without an unauthorized interruption. But, they just couldn't help themselves for three times in that short section of trail. Goofballs!

Back to the trailhead, everybody ready for 'end of run' treats?

"Ready!" declares always focused Zorro.
"Yep, count me in!" adds happy, happy Jack.
"Coming, coming, I'm coming!" says last arriving Rudy

A beautiful day for an early morning cruise up and down Boreas: 9 miles traveled with 600 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 20 MPH.

2020/2021 Season to Date: 107 days on the trail covering 875.5 miles with 75,800 feet of elevation climbed.
