Yes, after this past "least snow on record" season for Colorado, we got a final HURRAH dump this morning to give us one last outing for the season. Our last skijor was April 6th and that was going to be our earliest "last outing" of our skijoring careers. But, no, mother nature gave us one last hurrah this morning for a final outing in May. Yay!
We were able to start skijoring from our garage and took a nearby hike/bike trail to start the outing:

The goal, though, was to take this short & narrow hike/bike trail to get to wide open Carter Park. Once in the open park, Jack & Rudy knew what to do!
 |
| BOOM! Opening it up across the snow covered park! |
We did three laps in & around the park - 2 on the main grass and then one loop through the field of the adjoining elementary school (school was cancelled today because of the snow). While each lap was short, it was still a ton of fun. Come along for today's video highlight of a quick ride in the fresh snow in the park. Of course, the ground was snow-less just yesterday, so you'll see me bouncing as my skis occasionally cut through the snow to hard ground. But, no complaints here, we got one more outing in May! Yay!

Technically, the prior video was on the "sledding hill" at Carter Park. As a result, you see two sledders coming up the hill as we cruise by. As usual, they cheered us on :)

What a surprise, what a treat! Right guys?

| "Oh my, we are THRILLED to be back on snow. Even if for just one day!" says my focused pair awaiting end of run treats. |
But, sadly, all this surprise snow will melt by tomorrow. But, we got One Last Hurrah in May! Yay! 0.8 miles traveled with 100 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 14 MPH.
