Ski Joëring with one dog at Conta Musher Race: Les Contamines-Montjoie, Haute-Savoie, France
A race organized by the FSLC for all competitors and any kind of dog.
Ski Joëring or Skijoring is a sport in which one to two dogs assist a cross-country skier.
The cross-country skier provides power with skis and poles, and the dog adds additional power by running and pulling.
This from the day I took the making of artificial snow. Very sporty people don't take the cable car up, they walk, on skis. They used to do this with fur underneath the skis, but it's all a bit more high tech now (I hope anyway).
Blue Mountain Village and shops at the base of some of the many ski runs.

I couldn't resist! Probably my last winter picture this season :)
I went for skiing the last time this season and found this virginal ski slope and had to take a picture and enjoy the wonderful weather!
😍
By the way: I thought that must be the point of view of a fly when it is sitting on a gramophone record :-)

Another try on the same theme than a picture taken last year.
While we take a pause for picnic, skis are having a rest also...

On 3rd October 2018, Prussian 'T16.1' Class 0-10-0 tank 94 1538 runs through the closed Schmiedefeld station with a special public holiday working between Schleusingerneundorf and Rennsteig. Two decades of tree growth since its closure by DB have left it looking in a very sorry state. The railway first came to Schmiedefeld in 1904 after which it grew as a popular spa resort for convalescing, hiking and cross-country skiing. Post-war during the GDR-era, Schmiedefeld, being located high in the Thuringian Forest, was a popular holiday destination, and it was served by through holiday trains from Berlin. Even in 1990/1991 it as still served by a return through train service from Magdeburg. During the communist era, East German holidaymakers would flock to Schmiedefeld to rented accommodation and holiday homes, many unable to travel further afield from the GDR. After the end of communism, express trains still ran along this secondary railway through Schmiedefeld between Themar and Erfurt, although freight traffic on this route ceased at the end of 1993. Scheduled DB passenger services ended on the line in May 1998. The line, still connected to the DB national network, is now owned by the private Rennsteigbahn freight operating company, which commenced operating services around the DB network from 2003. As well as providing the safety case for the tourist operations with private historic locomotives and carriages, it has also recently operated timber trains along sections of the Rennsteigbahn, and there's clearly no shortage of that commodity!
