Headline: your chance to try a new emerging sport
Start time: Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 10:00AM
End time: Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 3:00PM
Type: Sports & Recreation > Skiing > Ski Days

Description:
Skijoring is a sport which has its roots in Scandinavia, and simply constitutes any
energetic dog pulling a cross-country skier! The skier wears a skijoring harness, the dog wears a sled dog harness, and the two are connected by a length of rope (with a built in bungee). 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.

Don't have the equipment? No problem! There will be some gear onsite to borrow and instruction on how to effectively ski and guide your dog.

This is your chance to try a new emerging sport with your own dog (who should be more than 30 lbs) or one that is already trained. Standard Park day rates will apply.
