 Poster: A snowHead
|
Some on here know that we take our Jacks with us to the mountains, and now we are out for the season we have the whole pack with us, three of them.
Friday we drove up to Tignes to visit my daughter(s) (collected the other from La Tania Sat) and had some good skiing a la famille, in La Tania, Courchevel, Saint Foy, Tignes, Val D'Isere over the course of three days!
Dogs came with us and whilst we were skiing either stayed in the kennel on wheels (van) or in the apartment, though they had a fair number of walks everyday (loads of dogs in Lavachet in Tignes) once back home in Serre Chevalier it was time for a day out with them.
Leaving the old girl (not the wife) who is getting on at 13yrs we took mum and daughter, three and a half and one year old, for a ski tour near to where we live.
We've taken them before and they have loved it, though this was a little more demanding with the depth of the snow.
At first climbing up the dogs would be running all over the place following scents, as there is a lot of wild life away out of the resort. I saw one huge fox, almost thought it was a wolf through the trees at first!
Then they sussed that it was better to stay in our skinning tracks.
The descent was amusing with the dogs taking the straightest line down and looking for short cuts, as well as messing up the tracks we had just made 
In total we were out for some four hours.
Here's a couple of pics
And there's more pictures as well at the route we took, plus a interesting shot of a recent slide here

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Shocking. Not a helmet or a winter tyre in view. 4 paw drive is no substitute for proper safety equipment.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

musher,  Weathercam, What great photos...I love Jack Russells, didn't you post the great pics of them being thrown into deep snow (in the nicest possible way) last season?

Great photos...the first one in particular. My little Westie loves the snow - I might try this myself.

Brilliant. Our beagle loves the snow too. When we had a foot or so of it at home (last year I think) he went absolutely mad for it. Never thought of taking him to the slopes though!

Our two love the snow too, but Meg is too old for attempting long walks now, and i think Lola might be a bit of a liability, as she is rather lively on her walks.
