Talk

Never at a loss for words Rudy on the trail this morning :)

"Woo! I ALWAYS have something to say! Woo!" declares wooing Rudy.
"Sigh, just wait for him to finish...." says Jack & I (we know, from experience,
that you cannot ask him to 'stop talking' :)

What was always talkative Rudy talking about? Well, I paused to ask if everyone was having a good time today. As usual, I got a glowing smile of agreement from Jack and a wooing burst of happiness from Rudy! At least he's consistent.

Anyway, after two days of clouds and on/off snow Wed & Thu, we were treated to the return of the sun on this morning's skijor. With two days of fresh snowfall behind us, the trail conditions were wonderful and the bluebird morning was awesome. Such pretty photos today...

Zooming along with snow poofs behind Jack & Rudy and great views
along with the bright morning sun!

We were skijoring the upper elevation trails at Breckenridge Nordic Center. So, as a result, we were near treeline most of the outing. Once you get up this high, the trees thin and the views are great!

Zipping along again as the panorama of Rocky Mountains to our
front and right is incredible.

Opposite direction from the previous photo (notice the shadows are reversed). Different direction, same result: incredible views of snow-covered mountains all around us1

Wheeee!

Of course, all this work towing me around means you need to really roll snow angels to "cool your jets" at the turnaround point of the outing :)

"Ahh, cooling!!!" demonstrates the silly snow rolling kids.

Eventually we had to head back towards the trailhead to finish the outing. This meant coming back down from treeline and into the thicker forest. I love this section of trail in the video. Come along as we are cruising along a wide nordic trail that gently winds through the trees and forest. Such a peaceful trail to glide behind Jack & Rudy!

Done for the day and time for 'end of run' treats with retired mentor Zorro. The kids are in "silly mode" while Zorro is wonderfully focused on me :)

"Ready!" says super focused Zorro.
"Slurp, smack! We can taste them already!" shows the silly slurping kids!

Another fun, fun day! 9.3 miles traveled with 900 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 22 MPH.

2021/2022 Season to Date: 113 days on the trails covering 953.4 miles with 90,100 feet of elevation climbed.
