Quick Run

Fun "shot from the front" with our retired mentor, Zorro, grading the kids' form :)

"Nice form, nice form. I was a great teacher!" declares approving Zorro.

We only had time for a quick outing this morning. So, it was zoom, zoom, zoom with Jack & Rudy on the packed trails touring around Walton Peak. On the most popular section of trail it was a wide packed track!

Nice, wide, packed and FAST. Wheeee!

Today's video highlight is one of my favorite ridges to skijor along the sides of Walton Peak. Funny to notice in the video... Rudy is running in the leftmost and most packed track. Jack is running in the rightmost and semi-packed track. I am riding my left ski in the center powder (speed control) and my right ski in Jack's semi-packed track (acceleration control). Despite being a big dude, Rudy is the baby of the family so he gets the most stable and packed track :)

Temperatures this morning were above freezing all outing long. Jack & Rudy roll snow angels when it is single digits or below zero, so you can imagine what they do at 35 degrees to cool off!!!

"Is it May????" asks the snow rolling goofs.

Thanks for waiting for us Zorro! Glad you approved the kids' performance!

"I taught them well, how about a treat reward for that?" asks focused Zorro.
"We love our mentor Z!" declares happy Jack & Rudy.
