Sunday blizzard repor

On Saturday evening, the snow kicked in and by Sunday morning, we had a real blizzard happening here.

Looking out our kitchen window, this north west wind is
pushing lotsa snow to the south side of our house.

They said we were all antsy and cooped up so we came out
to help move snow.

I'm staying away from that darn noisy thing!

Arly had to blow snow twice today, it was filling in so fast.

Later, we finally got out for a blizzard adventure.
We had 60mph gusts today.

Why drive to a trail when you can ski right from home?

Can you tell, this is where the tech skiers live?

Wally plowed the path open for everyone.

Oh hey! We met some friendly stranded people.
This is at a nearby apartment building.
They never did get out of the parking lot.

Gee whiz, it's really hard going!

Up the path we trudge.  More like a swim for a puppy!

Ya, it's snowy!

Pretty soon, we had to follow.

OK, let's hop back down to the parking lot where it's easier going.

Oh hey! More friendly people shoveling there car to get out.
This is a MI tech parking lot.

Not too many folks were out today.
Mutts like us, are always glad to make new friends!

 

OK, let's zoom right down the snow bank.  This is Garnet street.

Whee!

You coulda skied anywhere around town easier than driving.

Here's the outside view of the south side of our house.
The squirrels will like the feeder at this level...

The Big Boss even came out today. That's not bushes it's parked by.
It's the pear trees. Ya there's 4 - 5 feet of snow on the level in our yard.
This latest snow might bring us up to 250" for the year.

Another South Boundary road romp

On Saturday morning, the pack has been seriously painting the laundry room but after one coat was applied, we jumped into the dog truck and headed south a few miles to ski off South Boundary road. 

But earlier this week, Sandy's work mate Jess had gave us
some trout they had caught.  Hummmmmm

OK, now we're on the snowbank along the road.
The snow might be 5ft deep here.

Let's get a going!

Just like that, puppies get ahead.
This section was snowshoed in, earlier this week.

Shortly later, on the unpacked section,
even puppies wear out in this much snow.

As do older dogs even with much larger paws.

We ski along, more than 3ft above the ground.

Puppies know they must follow to get a break.

Hey! This is kinda hard going.

Older mutts take a while to catch up again.

The city of Houghton reports 225" of snow for the year.
And more on the way!

We're getting another foot or more tonight so we'll have to pack
this down again.

We are almost back and we had such a nice deep snow romp today.

Perrault Lake Hightland Back country adventure.

On Saturday afternoon, we met our buddy Will to go for a romp at the Highland ski trail area. And, he brought a friend!

That's our buddy Will, but whose this trail Mutt we've never seen before?

Oh, we better go and meet her.   My name is Bella.

OK let's go! We ski up the logging road.

The snow is kind of deep here!

Not a problem for trail mutts.  I think we can pass Will!

Partway up the hill, we took a left and went "cross country".

This has much potential as a ski trail.

We stop for a little break among the Hemlocks.

This is just so pretty out here.

Sure it's pretty, but the mutts are slowing down from all the deep powder.

Maybe now we'll lead again!

For a break, trail mutts will tussle!

Ya, this is as good of BC skiing you can find anywhere.

They make have got 250" here so far.

And the sun even came out.  We don't see that much!

We're so glad Will and Bella came with us today!

What a wonderful 3 hour adventure we had.
This photo will give you a idea of the snow depth along the road.
