February 15 - February 16
Wood River Extreme Ski Joring
Join us February 15 & 16 for Wood River Extreme Skijoring!
Produced by the Wood Extreme Ski Joring Association (WRESJA), the event features cowboys with their fast horses racing with brave skiers and snowboarders and promises a weekend of fast-action fun that the whole family will enjoy. Ski Joring is a winter sport in which a person on skis is pulled by a horse, a dog or a motor vehicle. It is derived from the Norwegian word skikjøring, meaning “ski driving”. In the Wood River Valley horses are used.
The WRESJA races will take place at 81 Browning Lane in Bellevue on Saturday, February 15 and Sunday, February 16, starting at 12noon each day. There is an admission fee of $10 per spectator, with children 12 and under free. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs but dogs are not allowed. This family-friendly weekend event will also feature concessions.
For those interested in competing, sign-ups will take place Friday night at Mahoney’s Bar & Grill in Bellevue from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. There is also a team-up page on Facebook for those seeking a partner to compete with. www.facebook.com/groups/wresja.teamup/
