Another wonderful day skijoring with Jack & Rudy in soft snowmobile tracks atop Rabbit Ears Pass!
Whee! Zipping along! I am in a serious ski tuck to keep pace, thus the reason you can see so much of the carabiner in the lower right of this photo. |
We started on the Harrison Creek Trail at Rabbit Ears as was the case yesterday. But, a few miles in and we got to a junction. Yesterday we went straight at the junction, today we turned right to mix it up. As with yesterday, this was still an "out & back" route. So, we had to turnaround at some point. You know what that means from Jack & Rudy:
"Turnaround! Roll around!" goes the snow rolling sillies to cool themselves off before turning and restarting :) |
On the way back, those pesky "rodents under the snow" apparently were very active and caught Rudy's attention. So, off Rudy went rodent diving off trail and into the deep snow. Jack, of course, was quick to follow (with his typical "rodent lunge" versus Rudy's high arching dives).
"I sense rodents! Incoming!" says rodent diving Rudy. "What? Really? Well I'll certainly join too!" adds Jack. |
Today, instead of my usual video highlight showcasing hard working/running Jack & Rudy, I will expose the comedians. Come along for today's episode of diving & dunking and diving & dunking again from the silly kids determined to find one of those rodents under the snow! Goofballs :)

Ok, comedy interlude over and it was back to Jack & Rudy the professional sled dogs:
Whee, back to "normal"! |
Back to the trailhead and a nice snow wall to climb for end of run treats:
"We heard you laughing! You loved our rodent dive comedy event!" says the happy kids very proud of their performance on the trail today :) |
A nice day for following soft snowmobile tracks and, apparently, a nice day to dive off trail in search of rodents under the snow: 8.7 miles traveled with 800 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 19 MPH.
2024/2025 Season to Date: 21 days on the trails covering 164.8 miles with 16,100 feet of elevation climbed.
