Winter has ended. However, I just found this wild winter sport called Skijoring that is a blend of skiing and rodeo!

Apparently, the sport began in 1940s and is seeing a resurgence in the western states. Skijoring is when a person on skis is pulled by a horse (or other animals) down a course to go through ski gates and over jumps … all at high-speed. The sport is a true challenge of skill and bravery. It is also potentially very dangerous.

The basic sport is pretty wild, but over the years some people have pushed Skijoring to a more extreme level as in the video below.

Would you try Skijoring?
