Snow or not, skijoring makes its return

Almost exactly a year ago, Jefferson County residents witnessed  something unusual at the Jefferson County Recreation Park.

Horseback riding and skiing may not be uncommon activities in the Treasure State, but seeing them together – yes, that’s right, a horse racing through a course with a slaloming skier – is something you frankly have to see for yourself to really get a handle on.

On Saturday, Feb. 11 and Sunday, Feb. 12, the people of Jefferson County will get that opportunity, as the Jefferson County Rodeo Association and the Boulder Valley Skijoring Association are once again hosting “Skijoring the Big Rock” at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. And, this time, they are prepared for the weather.
