Winter Spring Awesomeness!!

Woooooo we were hit with the beautiful white stuff today...awesome hike (another BEST EVER actually) with super floofy pow under foot in open areas, and cool mossy forested sugar coated sprinkles of snow forests under the tree canopies...so. much. fun! We also had a super cool new friend join us today, Yuki is a 13month old Husky X and HE IS SOOOOO ADORABLE! (Yes I shouted that) he fitted in perfectly with the pack, the ultimate player, sniffer, comes as soon as you even think about calling his name, so awesome. He was also super polite with the others as they loaded the truck, really submissive making me initially think he may get picked on by the big boys but I think he was just saying 'hey...I am the newbie, be nice to me...' because as soon as he left the truck he ripped around and played and is a real asset to our pack!

  Pleased to meet you Yuki, ya beautiful 'ol blue eyes!

Joining Yuki today was Kayla, Finn, Skipper, Indy-bindy, and Bosley - and they all loved the snow, dancing and yiiping in it the minute they exited the truck...I felt mean making them sit quivering and squeaking with excitement until they were allowed to go play, rather like us waiting for the Alpine lifts to open on a bluebird pow day! Anyhoo - here are today's shots:

Kayla gallops in the winter pow, Indy sniffs in the spring forests!

Finn, Indy and Skip share a gallop with Yuki weeee!

Playing on the woodwork

moseying alongside the beautiful snow trees and rock

Kayla makes sure I am keeping up with the pack!

...then off we go again! Bos leading the way, Finn, Skip and Yuki with Kayla and Indy just out of shot, watching dogs wind round switchbacks is so funny!

check out the Skunk Cabbage flower from last Thurs entry..it's opening out trooping through the snow!

ha ha - Skipper and Indy (bro and sis) think the camera is me offering treats, bless!

Then it was into the deep stuff...weeeee! I was having as much fun as the woofers here, we all ended up in a big furry heap rolling in it!!

Sooooo deep!

Almost back at the truck, and the sun bursts through...lovely :)

...I spun round and shot the glistening trees, another awesome hike folks - see ya tomorrow!

 parting shot: dear Finn, such a sweetie, he was full of Aroooooooo's today!
