Groom Patch

A great morning for a 13 mile skijor, right guys?

"Wonderful indeed!" exclaims the super happy Jack & Rudy.

Wait, what's that in the snow behind Jack? Yes, it is the indentation of a snow angel Jack rolled before hopping up to flash me his beautiful smile :)

We had a wonderful day following both narrow & wide snowmobile tracks for over 13 miles this morning. Come along for the photo and video highlights.

Here is a cool shot of us racing along a winding snowmobile track as the morning sun is rising over the trees around us!

Hello Sun! Welcome to the fun outing!

The Harrison Creek Trail has a quick rise in the beginning and then you spend a lot of time running along a high elevation shelf with the rest of Colorado below you:

Cruising along the upper elevation shelf with nice views to the right.

Packed and soft trails lead to some nice speed and maneuvering from my pals :)

The hover huskies floating into a gentle left corner along the trail.

Today's video highlight is a fun mix of conditions. We found a short, but pristine, section of groomed trail. Come along as Jack & Rudy "floor it" on the groomie zoomie. But, eventually the groom ends and we transition to somewhat bumpy snowmobile tracks. A good test of my skiing abilities to keep pace once we hit the bumpy terrain! Wheeee!

As I already said, a beautiful morning for a 13 mile skijor!

"Glad you came back! Glad you exercised those kids!" declares Zorro.
"Ready for 'end of run' treats!" shares Jack.
"Oh yeah, treats! Here I come to join in!" says 'last to the event' Rudy :)
