| Absolutely PERFECT conditions to FLOOR IT!!!!! |
Jack, Rudy and I were thrilled to see the freshly groomed trail when we arrived at the trailhead this morning. I knew the first groom of the season on these trails was going to be any day now; but was shocked and ecstatic to find that today was the day. Jack & Rudy love to get out on these trails and floor it along the groomie zoomie. They catch air and hover over the trail all outing long :)

Now come along for a little video fun to go along with the photos. We start this clip galloping along a relatively flat stretch of trail. Then, about 30 seconds into the clip, and the trail veers right into a downhill sprint track and off we go! Zoom! So much fun this morning!

If Jack & Rudy were not hovering over the trail then they were flying instead :)

| Flying! Wheeee! |
With such perfect conditions, I did not think we would stop during the entire outing. But, we did come across some VERY distracting (i.e, fresh) moose tracks that had to be inspected.
 |
| I almost glided right past Jack & Rudy as we were cruising along when both suddenly leapt off trail into a deep (and clearly fresh) set of moose tracks. Look at how deep these tracks are - moose sure are tall!!!! |
In addition to the moose tracks, we had one other pause. We did an "out & back" this morning which meant we had to stop for me to turnaround on skis once. Well, it was a stop...
 |
| "Stop, Drop & ROLL!" goes always rolling Jack. "WOOO! Why'd we stop?!?!?" asks impatient Rudy :) |
What an incredible day on perfect groomed trails, right guys?
 |
| "Oh, we had a BLAST!" declares the happy, happy kids atop a snow wall waiting for me to hand out end of run treats. |
Perfect conditions led to our longest outing of the season so far: 10.4 miles traveled with 900 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 23 MPH.
2023/2024 Season to Date: 28 days on the trails covering 228.6 miles with 21,900 feet of elevation climbed.
