Yay Snow

Happy kids at our turnaround point on the trail this morning!

"Having so much fun today!" declares happy Rudy.
"Yes, yes, what a fun day!" adds happy Jack.

What is that smudge on Jack's back and in the lower center of the previous photo? Well, we are happy to report that just about all of today's footage was blurred by active snowfall collecting on the camera. I'd wipe the camera clear now & then only to have it get blurred by snow spots within seconds again. Yay for snow!

Most of the day's footage looked similar to the following: snow spots blurring the camera with flakes falling all around us.

Snow blurred in the upper left and bottom middle.
Nice big flake directly above Rudy about to land on the camera.

I'd wipe the camera clear to get a nice "active snow" shot; but then it would be blurred in areas again almost immediately.

Momentarily clear camera to see fast running Jack & Rudy
with snowfall all around us.

Come along for a "snow blurred" but fast & fun skijor amidst active snowfall on the backside of Sally Barber Mine. Wheeee! Yay for snow!

Back to the trailhead and at least Nancy's camera was clear. Silly Rudy has started occasionally playing "king of the mountain" while I get the 'end of run' treats organized. He sits back for an elevated view into the activity and then drops down into the group as soon as the treats are really out. Funny kid.

"Front & center as always!" states focused Zorro.
"Ready!" adds happy Jack.
"Hehe, I'm 'king of the mountain' until the treats come out!" declares
silly Rudy.

A quick run this morning to enjoy the actively developing snow: 6.4 miles traveled with 700 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 20 MPH. 

It is supposed to snow all day and into the night. Come back tomorrow for what should be a fun powder day skijor outing! Yay for snow!

2020/2021 Season to Date: 99 days on the trails covering 806.5 miles with 70,100 feet of elevation climbed.
