In the past month it's been eerily quiet as the snowmobilers seem to have gone into hibernation - which means the "free-packing" I get on the trails round here hasn't happenned and when we did venture out I had the joy of skijoring on very cold snow, up to the two dogs bellies at times - I know I know, that's nothing to you hardy mushing types with your 10+ dogs, sled seats, arse dragger boxes to sit on, etc etc, but after last Satrurday's run essentially turned into an uphill freightpull for the last 5 miles I called further runs off til it warms up - at that was supposed to be today!! - well today was to be a packing run on the skidoo...
Enough whining! The Weather Network always tells the truth (and I saw the tooth fairy a couple of days ago) and we're going to be above normal all next week - the CHT trail will be nicely packed by then, ready for the 6 dog sled/4 dog skis Alpine Vet Race Day. This race could be 38'C warmer than the Oscar's race in December - come on out and have a party! Shorts and sandals time round the BBQ.
