Crust Again

Another great morning abandoning set trails to make our own path atop the great spring crust at Rabbit Ears Pass.

Zipping along the crust! Wheeee!

See a trail in the prior photo? Nope, we are simply making our own path as we are in a gulley that will contain a river of snowmelt runoff once summer arrives.

If you thought the prior photo was nice, wait until you see the next one showcasing the endless spring crust!

Perfect conditions. Wow!

Come along for a fun video clip of skijoring the crust. Note the action around 12 seconds in. I call out a left but Jack starts out cutting the left too far (note the tree Rudy and I will peg if we follow Jack's hard left). But, smart Jack notices his error quickly and launches back in line with Rudy and I and off we continue flying along the crust. Nice recovery Jack!

While the crust is super fun, it comes with Spring. Well, Spring brings warming temperatures and warming temperatures brings out the snow rolling sillies to cool off :)

Cooling our jets, Rub a dub dub.

Pretty fun morning to make our own path, right guys?

"Fun indeed!" states the happy pair.

Back to the trailhead to celebrate another fun outing with elder Zorro. Zorro has always been known for his intense focus, that has not changed with age :)

"You have my FULL attention!" declares super focused Zorro.
"Me next!" declares happy Jack.
"Chilling, waiting for third!" adds mellow Rudy.
