Freshies

Laying fresh tracks in a light layer of untouched fresh snow - wheeee!

Beautiful trail with a wonderful light layer of fresh snow!

While most of our outing this morning found us laying fresh tracks in the new snow, at our highest elevations, it was breaking trail over laying fresh tracks! Our definitions: 1) fresh tracks: gliding through less than 6 inches of untouched, fresh snow; 2) breaking trail: powering through over 6 inches of untouched, fresh snow.

Breaking trail at our highest point of the elevation. Pow, pow, powder!

But, most of the day was spent laying fresh tracks in a light layer of fresh snow:

Freshies again - wheeee!

Now come along for today's short video of Jack & Rudy laying fresh tracks with light snowfall actively falling around us. Yay for Snow!!!!

We did an "out & back" outing, so we had to turnaround at one point. I didn't realize I was so close to Jack & Rudy that I was cutting off part of their turnaround fun - it was hilarious to see the whole thing in action. Oh well, here's the best I got off the camera:

"Rolling a SERIOUS powder snow angel!" declares powder rolling Jack.
"WOOOO - I love snow!" adds wooing Rudy.

Back to the trailhead and the comedians are suddenly all business awaiting end of run treats:

"You have our FULL attention!" declares the focused pair.
