Maclaren Snow

We have been loving this warmer weather with all the snow.  The wind could stay away though. 
Since I last posted we have gotten about 2 feet of fresh snow.  The first foot of snow was blown around and then it warmed up and in one day we had....snow/sleet/rain/sleet/snow and topped that off with 25 mph wind.  What a slick mess that was! Alan did get out and groom a bit, only to have another snow storm come through with some more wind.
Yesterday it started snowing again and really dumped the snow on us, we got over a foot of the most beautiful snow you have ever seen!!!!! The warm weather put a nice crust on the snow and now with this fresh powder, WOW the riding will be awesome! 
Alan & Megan went out snow machining last night, went to the West Fork of the Maclaren, they were only gone for 45 minutes to an hour, no trail left on their way home......it was really snowing that hard, and a bit of wind (4-5 mph). 
Bandit and Jackson are loving this, they went out with Megan skiing.  Of course they put on 2 miles to her one. 


Several trail breakers for mushers are here, breaking trail for the dogs.  We have 3 teams coming in this morning to spend a couple of days training.  According to the trail breakers, they have been pushing snow all night long.  I bet they are exausted, but that is ok, I have a big pot of chili going and home made bread made.  They will not go hungry!
