Ski-Jouring


Beautiful weather! Wonderful friends! What better way to spend the day?!?! Sunday we had a day of Ski-Jouring and Tobogganing. Evan and McKinley are geared to go!!!!



Scott brought Belle out to help with the pulling.


Magik pulling Evan on the tube.


I think this is the spot the horses liked the best....the hitching rail.....!!!!



Our neighbour is quite a good skier, as you'll see from the pictures. He had his telemark skis out and can really cut some good corners!




Scott and Belle.





Joel on his skis.....
















Some people did some riding too...











Magik going for a spin...








Ghost and the dogs going full tilt!












Evan brought his skis too...
















We even had some youngins join in. You should have heard her giggle! She also rolled her toboggan down the hill too, so quite a dare-devil!






















Slim is still the favourite for pulling. You can really get some speed and momentum with him. Going full out with Joel behind on his skis...


























How can you help but be all smiles?! Sure makes you feel like a kid....until the next day.... :)









Aaaahhhhh!!!.....talk about momentum.... the tube is dallied to Slim rounding a corner. I swung it out really far..... Look out Susan!!!!!


Who needs the ski slopes?!?! (well... okay...) The good life!











Who's pulling who....????!?!?!?!













After ski-jouring, we moved to the hill for some tobogganing... Is it supposed to hurt that much the next day? Don't tell me I was the only one.....???!!!








The push! Just in case you don't get enough speed...Getting a little help from your friends!












McKinley and Joel have a race...












Susan.... there's that smile again!











Max took all the other pictures. Finally his turn to go for a run...











hitting the deep snow at the bottom...














trying to take out the camera man. The dogs really get into it too...!








Evan is the last person to go.














We ended the day around the campfire with smokies, chips and some elk meat cooked over the fire. Funny... everyone left early and I couldn't figure out why... I keep forgetting that Sunday means everyone has to go to work the next day. This was my Friday!
Thanks everyone for a great day!

Wow, I guess you have some snow... LOL Ours is half way up my thigh in most spots or at least to my knees! Looks like you all had a great time! Smile

Looks like a lot of fun. We have way more snow, like hip deep!

Good times Brenda! I bet you weren't the only one hurting ... I'd say Slim was probably feeling it too! Watching you, Slim and Joel on skis was like watching a waterskier and a motorboat - all very impressive ... and when you almost took me and Magik out with the tube ... well, we'll talk about that later - LOL!
