  • 2020 Wisdom Skijoring Event, General Information and Rules
    January 15, 2020 2020 Wisdom SkiJoring Event, General Information and Rules The Big Hole Valley Association is a non-profit organization made up of individuals and businesses in the upper Big Hole Valley. Our goal is to help the people of the valley, sponsor fun events for the valley residents and visitors, improve the appearance and wellbeing of the community. Event entry fees, donations, and receipts from sales are used for prizes, to buy insurance, buy or rent equipment, purchase supplies, and advertise the event. The association makes annual donations to local or regional charities. The Big Hole Valley Association, a non-profit corporation, sponsors this event. The 2020 event will take place over two days, February 29 and March 1 in Wisdom Montana. In 2020 we will again be skijoring at the Wisdom Airport which is about 1.5 miles southeast of Wisdom on Highway 278. We will once again cap the race at the first 80 paid up teams. Knowing that Wisdom can have unpredictable and often harsh conditions, we want to keep the event from running long. We will have an open registration period from 8am February 20, through 5pm February 25. Teams will sign up by calling or stopping by the Crossing Bar and Grill in Wisdom MT 406-689-3260. Payment can be made by phone with a credit or debit card, or in person with cash, a check or credit card or debit card. Payment must be made to be registered in the event. The most significant change is that we are adopting a D format with 4 classes in 2020.

As a result, a number of 10 new trails were proposed; however, few of these trails were developed between 1983 and 11 today. Similar to the 1983 Plan, this plan continues to place an emphasis on trail 12 development as a cost effective means to diversify, expand, and enhance recreation 13 opportunities. This plan conceives a looped system of trails that will accommodate a 14 diversity of uses and provide access to areas that have previously seen little public use due to 15 lack of access or developed facilities. These new trails will be developed to minimize impact 16 on the natural environment and minimize maintenance costs consistent with a recently 17 adopted trail policy. 18 19 In March 2009 the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (DPOR) finalized a Trail 20 Management Policy1 that provides direction on how the Division will manage, develop, 21 maintain, and assess the condition of state park trails. The policy provides goals and trail 22 management concepts for sustainable and responsible trail development and management. 23 This trail plan was developed consistent with the concepts in the Trail Management Policy 24 and will serve as the framework for management and trail development within NLSRA and 25 NLSRS.

  • The Spectacular Skijordue
    The Spectacular SKIJORDUE More than 50 horse, rider and skier teams. Twenty-five kilos of cheese. Polo club style and cowboy grit. Welcome to the fantastical world of skis, spandex and supersonic horsepower. By JENN WEBSTER & INGRID SCHULZ Tara Mackenzie Tara 4647 WESTERN HORSE REVIEW March/April 2017 March/April 2017 WESTERN HORSE REVIEW.COM 4647 t might be the sport of all sports to propel equestrian activi- ties to the stratosphere. Riders and skiers or snowboarders looking for a day of velocity and extreme horse sport (and some sweet prizes) took to the powder-laden fields of the Calgary Polo Club on February 11 in honor of Skijordue 2017. Skijoring, anglicized from the Norwegian ski-kjøring, refers to the sport of “ski-driving.” The activity can involve dogs, motorized vehicles or horses, however, south of cow- town, and in the epicenter of horse country there was little question the Iequestrian version was the only towing option of choice on this day. Skijordue was conceptualized by Sam Mitchell of Millarville, Alberta, after she and her husband, Graham, settled in the foothills south of Calgary. Craving the après-ski vibe scene of Zurich they had left behind, the pair decided to fuse their love of winter riding with their passion, of yes, cheese fondue. Skijordue in Calgary had a “choose your own adventure quality,” where the intrepid rider was rewarded with bragging rights for the fastest, surefooted pony. Skiers and boarders along for the ride could contend in circuit, long jump or sprint events. Meanwhile, spectators were treated to cheese fondue and bratwurst sausage.
