I was a little concerned that maybe the smaller of our Jacks might find the powder to deep as last trip out with her I had to carry her.
And was hoping that the route I'd planned should deliver it steep and deep, and did not want to be in a situation of having to climb back up and get her if she got stuck!
For the other dog she's a little larger and stronger!
So before we went I tried out her in my large (38lt) back pack and she seemed quite happy.
Skinning up they are happy as there are tracks to follow that are not deep soft snow, as soon as we hiked up on fresh even Kiki the larger dog found it difficult if she went off the track.
Once into descent mode, I put Beanie in the pack and she was calm.
As it was steep and the powder quite light Kiki was able to charge down through it though obviously not as fast as on skis!
OH said it was amusing skiing behind me with Beanie looking at her from the top of my pack
Nice video looks like perfect bluebird day.
Dogs seemed to cope well although wouldn't like to bum slap with the dog on my back
Where is the route? Monetier
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Weathercam, that's a great video. Looks like a great run too!
You are probably already aware of them, but consider a search for "Muttluks Fleece Lined Dog Boots" on Amazon, etc. to help keep paws warm, and from sinking too easily into the snow.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

What a great video and your dogs are adorable. This is the first year that our dear old lab has been unable to ski down with us, he's just got too old and creaky. He now goes in style in the gondola, so it was lovely to see your jacks having fun.
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Powder hounds, love it!! They're cute, but don't they get cold?
