Skijoring
Skijoring is a sport done in winter in which a person on skis is pulled by one or more dogs that are attached to them by harness. It’s kind of like dog sledding, but without the sled!
My dog Anna is huge and would be perfect for learning to skijor, but apprently any dog that is thirty pounds or more is a good candidate to learn skijoring. To skijor, all you need is cross country skiing equipment, a harness for your dog, a skijoring belt for you, and the tow rope that goes between.
Skijoring is done on a purely recreational basis all the way up to world championships, with activities like sprint racing and distance racing.
I found Skijor Now to be full of great information about getting started skijoring, including the sale of equipment you need, training tips, and a gallery of images.
