Every year Whitefish hosts a 2 day ski joring event
Ski Joring originates from Scandinavia
" Joring "- "Kjoring" which means "driving"
Person on horse pulls person on skis
plenty of competitors there is money to be won
people come from out of state and Canada for this event.
riders and skiers getting their final run thru of the course
Skis and snow boards to be used
auctioned off later after the competition

ReplyDeleteLooks dangerous! We like our beer in PA as well. Love the photos and you had me chuckling about Waldo, glad you found him easily, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI think that is one of the neatest sports ever and I am so thrilled to finally learn about it.
ReplyDeleteNow, I can water ski and I can ride a horse, but I've never snow skied before, but I'm ready to learn!
Mi sembra molto pericoloso questo sport, ma grazie per queste tue magnifiche fotografie che mi portano ad invidiare un po' i grandi spazi in cui vivi. Un saluto affettuoso.
ReplyDeleteWow - this is awesome! I've never heard of ski joring behind horses - only dogs. Looks like fun.
