What do you get when you cross rodeo with skiing? The wild and wacky Skijoring
Skijoring competitor Nick Burri poses in Leadville, Colo., on Saturday, March 2, 2024. Skijoring draws its name from the Norwegian word skikjoring, meaning "ski driving." It started as a practical mode of transportation in Scandinavia and became popular in the Alps around 1900. Today's sport features horses at full gallop towing skiers by rope over jumps and around obstacles as they try to lance suspended hoops with a baton, typically a ski pole that's cut in half.

20231012_164502[1] copy.jpg. We’ve visited several Parks Canada parks, each special in their own way. What caught our hearts, however, is Keji. It’s a national historic site with great programming, including Todd Labrador’s canoe building, petroglyph tours and great interpretive programming, dark sky preserve, hiking, biking, canoeing, wilderness camping and main park camping. Indigenous storytelling and petroglyph tours and other interpretive programs celebrate the importance of the lands and the contributions of its first peoples. We feel lucky to have this park. – Andrea Gillis and David Murray Handout
