#Skijoring

BigSkySkijoring is coming up!

Do I expect any of you to go? No. But it's still cool as hell.

"Skijoring is a high-adrenaline winter sport combining skiing and horseback riding, and it’s returning to Big Sky Town Center on February 8–9, 2025.

The Best in the West Showdown is known for its challenging course design, thrilling races, and celebration of Montana’s mountain culture. This event highlights the rich history of skijoring, a sport that originated in Scandinavia and even appeared in the 1928 Winter Olympics.

Don’t miss a weekend filled with action, competition, and community fun."

I didn't take any photos but I took Rory skijoring for the first time today!

We did a 3.5km groomed multi-use trail with my (new to me) classic cross country skis. I got these skis off Marketplace last year but hadn't had the chance to use them yet. I'm not sure if it was my ski wax, the snow, or the weather, but I was NOT getting the glide I hoped. We both worked super hard so I let her off for the last 500m so she could run free while I skied.

It was really fun despite the effort! Idk if it'll be a regular activity in our rotation (as rollerblade canicross and free running both mutually easier and enriching activities) but it was cool to try out anyway.

Almost forgot to post these here. Been thinking about Rhaenicent equestrian skijoring and running with that. I have one more big multi-panel piece planned for this but I have a couple of things to work on in between then and now.

I for one will not complain if my dash is suddenly filled with burly men... but more importantly if my mutuals take a hard left into [insert niche sport] I think I'll end up going down the YouTube rabbit hole of [niche sport] along with them.

Is it truly madness if we're all mad together?

if we’ve been mutuals for long enough i don’t even care what you post anymore. if one of my mutuals of two years suddenly gets really into competitive caber toss i just accept zenlike that half my dash is going to be gifsets of burly men hefting logs forever now. i adapt to all online conditions like an animal with high toxicity tolerance
