Cross Country Skier

| January 01, 2002 | (Hide copyright information)Copyright

Skijoring is a Norwegian word for "ski driving." The sport originated in Scandanavia as a combination of cross country skiing and dog mushing. It's best described as skiing with a dog attached to the skier using a harness attached to a wide waist belt.

More and more nordic centers are opening a portion of their trail system for skiers with dogs. It can be difficult at first, but after some practice, dog and owner are in for a great time.
