WORLD SKI JORING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
SATURDAY, JAN. 25 | WHITEFISH
More than 80 teams competed in the World Ski Joring
Championships in Whiteish on Jan. 25. Combining two
of Big Sky Country’s favorites — riding horses and ski-
ing — this winter extreme sport attracts competitors from
around the nation. Now in its 11th year, competition fea-
tured an exciting combination of horses (and mules), riders
and skiers, mixed with speed, jumps, and of course, snow.
