MIDWAY, Utah. — Last Saturday, February 20th, at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Midway, the 2021 Utah Skijoring (or ‘Ski Joring’) competition took place.

“Utah Ski Joring is an action-packed competition where a horse and rider pull a skier at a fast pace through a course that includes gates, jumps, and rings. Ski Joring combines Utah’s signature ski heritage with its cowboy roots creating a wild, fast-paced, and spectacular event. Competitors race for cash and prizes based on the fastest times.” – Utah SkiJoiring

The highlight of this year’s Skijoring competition was the Big Air competition. Every competitor gets two jumps and is judged on the distance of the jump.
