Last shot in this ski touring trio. After the effort of the climb, a silent reward: soft snow, fresh turns, and no one else around. These are the moments that stay with you long after the descent.

First tracks during a ski touring day in the Alps. Crisp snow, cold light, and the joy of quiet effort in untouched terrain.

Just a little bit further, I promise.
Guess who’s been sleeping already?

No #TrailRunning today, instead I took the morning off to go on a short #skitour with my eldest son over the #Schartenkogel to the summit of the #Glungezer at 2677m. An easy ski tour with fantastic views, only about 10 minutes away from where I live.
The weather gods were friendly the last few days, we got some snow in the mountains. Enough to ski down in fresh #powder ... doesn't get much better!

And some more photos for @deafferret who was asking earlier about our hiking/skijoring harness setup.
Dale's hip pack was made originally for fly fishing, but has lots of nice pockets for things you might need while out skiing on a day trip in the wilderness, and a nice wide padded back to distribute the pull of huskies. We can move the split bungee attachment to the waist belt on a full backpack for longer treks, as long as there are loops on the sides to attach to.
Here, Dale is also showing off his "Tiak" which is basically "Stick" in the Altai Mountains where they were inspired from. It's an alternative to ski poles, with the added benefit of braking on steep downhills. First trip, worked well!
Skijoring Day #1! We wanted to break in our legs on something a little on the easier side, so we took the Hok backcountry skis down the Moose Trail, which follows the northern edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
Several inches of fresh snow awaited us: a good depth for skiing without exhausting the huskies breaking trail for us. Hok skis floated nicely, though as always, their short length work the hips and legs to keep them going in a straight line much of the time, especially when the base isn't flat.
The busy snowmobile trail the first 1/2 mile from the trailhead is particularly annoying to ski on, and we were glad to break away to fresh powder.
