Would have been first in the ski queues at Glencoe Mountain if it hadn't taken so long to boil the water for coffee.
Ski Joëring with one and two dogs at The Polar Adventure : Méaudre, Isere, France
Skijoring with a dog is a sport in which a dog, assist a cross-country skier. One to two dogs are commonly used. The cross-country skier provides power with skis and poles, and the dog adds additional power by running and pulling.
The skier wears a skijoring harness, the dog wears a sled dog harness, and the two are connected by a length of rope. There are no reins or other signaling devices to control the dog.
The dog must be motivated by its own desire to run, and respond to the owner's voice for direction.
What you see at a race is the result of long hours of work and planning to ensure that the team is prepared to test its abilities against the trail and the competition.
Last night went out to our ski hill behind our house to see the new lanterns they put out for Monday night skiing. The only snow around town is on this ski hill.
It was full winter with snow at this time. Now it is full winter with frost and minus degrees.
I want to go skiing soon.
Along the ski-trail yesterday. A perfect day for skiing, still a lot of snow up in the hills,sunshine and no wind.
A tunnel that takes skiers through a ridge to another valley for more skiing. In the winter the thing on the right pulls people through the tunnel. Or so I presume.
