SUMMARY:Wood River Extreme Ski Joring
DESCRIPTION:\\n\\nWinter in Idaho’s Wood River Valley has its own kind of
  Western magic. For one weekend each year since the late 1990’s\, that ma
 gic gathers at 81 Browning Lane in Bellevue\, Idaho\, for the annual Wood R
 iver Extreme Ski Joring Association (WRESJA) event\, where neighbors\, frie
 nds\, and visitors line the fence to watch riders and racers kick up snow. 
 On February 14 and 15\, the WRESJA will host this community‑built event t
 hat is full of action and small‑town charm. Bring a lawn chair\, dress wi
 ld and warm\, but leave the dogs at home so everyone can enjoy the races sa
 fely and comfortably.\\nAbout the Event\\nStarting at 11AM each day\, fast 
 horses will tow brave skiers and snowboarders down a 600–900-foot snow-pa
 cked course\, where competitors tackle one to three jumps and reach speeds 
 up to 40 miles per hour. All while spearing salad plate size rings with a �
 ��free” arm. A clean run means hitting the jumps\, grabbing rings from bo
 th rider and skier\, and crossing the finish in one piece—missed rings an
 d skipped jumps cost precious points\, and winners are crowned on their com
 bined times over both days. This year’s races also include a couple’s d
 ivision—with a special surprise\, a century division where the rider and 
 skier’s ages equal 100years or more and Pee-Wee races for kids ages 5 to1
 0\, keeping the action going for every age.\\n\\nDespite this winter’s un
 seasonably warm temperatures and low natural snowfall\, organizers are comm
 itted to a full\, snow-packed track. In the days leading up to the event\, 
 WRESJA will truck snow into the race venue as needed so competitors and spe
 ctators can count on a true Skijoring experience\, even if Mother Nature do
 es not deliver.\\n\\nSpectator admission for this popular community event 
  is $10\, with kids 12 and under free\, and a portion of ticket & swag sale
 s goes right back into local youth and winter programs\, including the Wood
  River High School Rodeo Team\, Lead ‘em and Feed ‘em 4-H club\, and ne
 w this year\, Rotarun Ski Area joins the list of benefactors to round out W
 RESJA’s community outreach and the full sport of Skijoring.\\n\\nWith the
  addition of Rotarun Ski Area\, WRESJA is also adding a fun new element cal
 led the RotaRING. The RotaRING is a purple ring that turns one of the 10 r
 ings on the course into a donation: every purple RotaRING that’s purchase
 d sends an automatic $25 gift to Rotarun\, and when the purple ring is spea
 red and carried all the way to the finish line\, WRESJA will match the dona
 tion—giving sponsors a reason to cheer even louder from the fence line. R
 otaRINGs are available at shop.rotarun.org/products/wresja-x-rotarun-ring\\
 n\\nThe fun doesn’t stop when the last horse crosses the line. Concession
 s\, raffles\, and vendor offerings keep the infield buzzing during the day\
 , while the evenings turn into a local gathering of riders\, volunteers\, s
 ponsors\, and fans. The weekend kicks off with a pre‑race party and team 
 check‑in on Friday night at Mahoney’s Bar & Grill —a classic Wood Riv
 er Valley hangout where familiar faces and new friends meet up to swap stor
 ies from the track.\\n\\nSaturday’s race will be followed by the traditio
 nal team auction and party on Saturday night at River Sage Stables located 
 at 20 Prairie Road just south of Bellevue and the awards ceremony will be h
 eld on Sunday at River Sage Stables.\\n\\nFor event information\, race regi
