Endless Groom

It was a fast day on endless groomed trails starting from Dumont Lake atop Rabbit Ears Pass!

The freshly groomed trail went on for miles & miles and Jack, Rudy & I
were first tracks on the fresh groom. Endless fun!

We are members of the local snowmobile club (Routt Powder Riders) who groom the primary trails atop Rabbit Ears Pass. Jack & Rudy are snow machines after all, so we proudly contribute to the club to enjoy their grooming operations. The kids were VERY happy with today's perfect conditions on endless miles of freshly groomed trails. Just ask them yourself :)

"Having so much fun!" declares happy, happy Jack.
"Having a WOOO-nderful time!" asserts wooing in appreciation Rudy.

Every direction we turned was perfect, perfect, perfect! What an amazing day!

Shadows reversed from the first photo but everything else is just
the same - endless groomie zoomie!

Now come along for some video fun from the outing. Watch as Jack & Rudy tow me from the sun into a great and wide trail winding through the forest. Wheeee!

Of course, such great conditions means you need to roll snow angels to "cool your jets" during any pause on the trail. Jack often steps off trail to get in deeper snow for his angels while Rudy tends to enjoy cooling himself on the groomed track.

Snow angel antics from the comedians :)

An absolutely perfect day to report back to retired mentor Zorro:

"I feel the groom on my toes - perfect!" says focused Zorro.
"I can taste the 'end of run' treats in anticipation!" adds slurping Jack.
"Happily waiting my turn!" adds cool Rudy.

What a perfect endless day: 11.2 miles traveled with 900 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 23 MPH.

2021/2022 Season to Date: 146 days on the trails covering 1232.7 miles with 115,100 feet of elevation climbed.
