Dogs scratch their spring ski itch

I caught the spring-ski bug bad during a spring break in Banff in the Canadian Rockies last week. Sunshine. Fresh powder. And dogs! Not mine, but still, everywhere I went I saw Shep-Husky mountain-town mutts that looked like they could log 50 backcountry miles without a limp. Now, I'm trying to an engineer one more ski outing -- this time with my pups and closer to home at Whistler (which, at last report, still has a 104-inch base).
