Perfect

Absolutely perfect trail conditions on the trails around Walton Peak at Rabbit Ears Pass this morning!

Wide angle shot to showcase the incredible conditions
and the impressive hover huskies Jack & Rudy :)

While we were not "first tracks" on the recently groomed snowmobile trail, we were pretty close to first tracks. There was the occasional snowmobile that had been on the trail as you see above and a handful of ski tracks from a few others that had been on the trail before us. But, with such little trail use before us, it pretty much felt like we were first tracks on the trail. Jack & Rudy were in a ZOOM mode all morning long!

The fast kids FLYING along the perfect trail!

How fast today? How about a 23 MPH burst partway through this short video clip of the outing! I tell you, the kids were zooming today!

[watch on youtube if no video loads below]

The only slight drawback this morning? Well, temperatures were in the low 40s (F) all outing long. There was a nice breeze to keep us a little cooler; but 40 degrees with a fur coat is hot :)

Must stop, drop & roll to cool off at our turnaround
point of the outing!

Now for a fun "meet & greet" moment on the trail as we paused to let a bikejoring sibe pass on by along the trail. Jack & Rudy are such flirts!

"Hi dude, cool bike for your human!" says Jack & Rudy.
"Hello to you too, cool skis for your human!" adds the oncoming friend.

Such an amazing morning to find a recently groomed trail to zoom around Walton Peak!

"Treat time!" declares Zorro.
"We had so much fun this morning!" adds Jack & Rudy.

What a late April skijor treat! 10.5 miles traveled with 800 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 23 MPH.

2020/2021 Season to Date: 146 days on the trails covering 1192.7 miles and 102,200 feet of elevation climbed.

Surpassing 1200 miles tomorrow? Probably! Come back and see :)
