What is your favorite winter sport? You can probably find it here in NE Wisconsin/Upper Michigan. Because it is such a great winter spot, we sometimes have competing events, causing us to have to make choices between them.
Yesterday we chose to run dogs early and then to spend the day at Pine Mountain Ski Hill
watching the Continental Cup ski jumps. Some of our dog drivers are very involved in that competition. The Austrians had the longest jumps, one of which I saw at 431 feet. The hill record is 468 feet and I haven't heard if they broke it today or not. I've been watching these jumps for many years, but am always in awe of these jumpers, WOW!
Tomorrow we are planning to run teams on an eight mile run into Michigan, weather permitting.
The trails are hard packed and nice with just about two inches of new snow packed, but the railroad grade is icy from a Valentine's weekend of snowmobilers. We think we'll try it , though.
Skinny, Sierra, Buddy and I just came back from a dusk run... perfect and memorable!
