Tails From The Pack - A Dogs Tale

The adventures of "The Pack" living in the Alpujarras, the foothills of Spain's Sierra Nevada mountains, Andalucia

Skiing, ice and then soft snow

01 April 2013

Reading time: 4 mins

We went with the humans again, we have to look after them, we are working breeds after all! Basically, we dogs bailed out because of ice, we sat with hu’mum whilst the others went on uphill. Turns out they didn’t go much further either because of the ice, should have listened to us. Oh and I got to be off lead all day, yep I was a good husky. Lots of pictures to tell the story.

Waiting because it was too icy and windy. Hu'mum trod down the snow to make it easier for us to sit.

Fun time, beat the skiers. I win every time, they just can't keep up with me.

We had lunch and the snow softened up, so the skiers went back a short way again to ski down. We stayed put, well apart from Meg, boy that Border Collie has some energy, she will learn one day like I did, rest when you can.

Skiers made their way back up hill. Kyra couldn't make her mind up to stay or go. Meg brought her back to me and Hu'mum

We apologise about the video, there is a lack of us skiing with the humans, the helmetcams etc were not pointing in the right direction!! Oh and the music……
