Woo Bet

"Woo bet!" is Rudy's way of answering "You bet" to any questions on the trail :)

Time to turnaround, everyone having a good time this morning?

"Woo bet!" exclaims wooing Rudy.
"Turnaround? Ok! Great time? YES!" adds happy Jack.

We had about a 1/2 inch of new snow all to ourselves this morning on the upper elevation trails of Breckenridge Nordic Center. Fresh tracks in mid-April? Yay!

Laying fresh tracks all morning long!

What are those tracks to the right of Jack? Based on size, I believe they were coyote tracks as they seemed too big for a fox. Both coyotes and foxes are known inhabitants of this area. But, Jack & Rudy did not pay much attention to the tracks after an initial sniff. So, I was confident they were not very fresh and we did not have to worry about running into old Wile E. Coyote on the trail :)

Other than Wile E's tracks, the only other tracks we encountered all morning long were our "out tracks" on our return leg of the outing. What a perfect morning to enjoy the light layer of new snow!

Laying fresh tracks on the return leg as your can
see our "out tracks" to our left. Wheeee!

Come along for a fun video view into the morning. This clips starts in the trees at the highest elevation point of the nordic center and then transitions into stunning open views as the trees thin and the beautiful bluebird morning unfolds.

We had two turnaround points during the outing. The first got a Woo from Rudy as you saw in the first photo. The second turned into a game of "bow, tag and tackle" in the middle of the trail!

"I dare you to touch me!" suggests Rudy.
"No problem, I'm going to sock you!" responds Jack :)

Oh, and don't worry, Jack (and Rudy) rolled snow angels right before the unauthorized play session broke out in the prior photo. So, Jack's incredible streak of rolling at least one snow angel EVERY skijor outing of his young life is still intact!

Back to the trailhead and the fun trio are in tight to share 'end of run' treats!

Such focus! Such happy sled dogs!
