Singing

Some smile about how much fun they are having and some sing about it!

"I'm having a blast today; but he sure is loud!" says smiling, happy Jack.
"Woooo, I approooooove!" belts singing Rudy.

After spending the last two days skijoring fresh powder in the backcountry, we decided to open up the throttle on groomed nordic trails today. Jack & Rudy were in a groove, flying all over the place:

Beautiful bluebird morning as the speed demons catch some air flying along the trail.

You can see a few pre-existing tracks on the trail in the prior photo (both ski tracks and dog prints). The trails at Breckenridge Nordic Center had been groomed late yesterday, so a few had been out on the trails before us. But, to our shock and joy, once we got further from the trailhead than most humans ski, we found the groomed trail untouched! So, it was flooring being first tracks on a fresh groom for a while! Wheeee!

No humans had made it this far by themselves; but Jack & Rudy propelled
us to be first tracks far from the trailhead!

A little further along and still laying first tracks but with pretty views as well :)

First tracks on the fresh groom with stunning Rocky Mountain views
ahead and to our right.

It was around zero degrees (F) when we started this morning's outing. As I mentioned, Jack & Rudy were flooring it all outing long. So, the comedians decided they need to pause at the warming hut to use it Siberian Husky style:

"Rub a dub dub, rolling in the snow to cool our jets!" Yes, the nuts get
hot at zero degrees!

Today's video highlight can be summarized with two words: Zoom, Whee! Come along and watch the kids flying along as the propel me along the groomie zoomie trail.

Back to the trailhead and, you guessed it, a snow wall for the comedians to climb to get end of run treats:

"Ready!" says the focused & happy sled dogs.

What a groomie zoomie day: 9.4 miles traveled with 1000 feet of elevation climbed and our top speed of early in this 2024/2025 season of 23 MPH (we typically hit 24 MPH regularly and top out around 26 MPH once the conditions get perfect).

2024/2025 Season to Date: 16 days on the trails covering 125.2 miles with 12,400 feet of elevation climbed.
