Jenny Got A Sled – A Jenga TR (24 Apr 2014)

(Last Updated On: May 5, 2014)

Admittedly, when I woke up on Saturday morning, I took a look outside the window and saw thick grey clouds in the sky, but no new snow which sucked any motivation I had to go skiing right out of me. But, Jenny got a sled. And we had to test it out.

After some finagling around with Jenny’s sled, we were off. Jenny likes her new toy 🙂

We were happy when clouds began to give way to small areas of blue sky. But, the nearly non-existent freeze was a concern to us. So, we chose to ski something short, quick, and north facing. Jenga chute fit the bill. Jenny heading toward Jenga.

There are other ways to approach this chute, but I always love the climb up Jenga.

Of course, we had to finish off the day with a little play time on the snowmobiles.
