Skijoring Offers Skiers and Boarders a Wild Ride
 
   
 
Saturday, February 26, 2022
 

BY KAREN BOSSICK

One snowboarder likened it to a poor man’s lift ride.

And it was pretty cheap if you didn’t have to pay for the horse’s board and hay.

At any rate, it was 1,200-pound horses hauling skiers and boarders along an obstacle course this past weekend at the Wood River Extreme Skijoring Competition south of Bellevue. It was a rough and tumble adventure that sent at least two competitors to the hospital.

But those who made it through the race course had giant smiles on their faces. Check them out in today’s Eye on Sun Valley video.
