I adopted my 2ish year-old husky, Boris, last year - and I'm pretty sure he'd never seen snow, since he was originally rescued from Central California (near Bakersfield) and it hardly ever snows where I live. So last week while visiting family in Las Vegas, I took him to Mt. Charleston for his first snowy experience. I think it's safe to say he was excited! Thought you all might enjoy seeing the pics.
(Note: I do not recommend nor typically use a Flexi-leash with a big/strong dog like this; but I wanted him to have some freedom to frolick, and he can't be trusted off leash)
Look at the glee in his eyes, so excited. That breed was made for snow, and cold weather. They must be so miserable in hot climates, poor baby. It was kind of you to take him up there.

To be clear, we don’t really live in a hot climate - we’re in the Santa Cruz mountains with a temperate climate, so usually quite mild even in the summer. He’s fine here, but yes. He did thoroughly enjoy his time in the snow!
We had a pretty good snowfall in south Texas couple years ago when our Cavalier was young. I have a picture somehwere of a yard full of paw prints the first time he went out. He loved it!
He’s gorgeous! You sure he’s Husky and not Malamute? He looks like a Malmute to, those ears and curled tail. In any case he’s loving that snow!
I thought he might be mixed too, since he’s bigger (at 75lbs) and fluffier than your typical husky - but I had him tested, and he came back as 100% Siberian! Guess he’s just a floofy boy.

I googled husky vs malamute and one big difference is tail. Huskies have straight tails, Mals have curled tails. Plus the ear set.
Can’t argue with the dna, though. He’s lovely.
