The staging area was still deep in snow when we pulled out for our run.
We should have left a bit later. At about 2 miles into the run the trail became just two deep, too-narrow-for-the-sled ruts. After struggling for a couple more miles, what should have been a loop back to the main trail, dead ended. We had to turn around and climb back up the the main trail.
Sledding on the main trail was easy and fast
After a tough 6 mile run, Team Nookies deserved a good rest.
Soon the other Chinooks were back from their runs. We let all five loose to play together in the snow - something no other breed present could have done.

| With 1/4 mile to go, the dogs were still pulling but getting tired. I was able to step off the sled to take the picture and walk to catch up to it again. |
