What is Skijoring?

Skijoring is an exhilarating winter sport where a person on skis is pulled by a horse (or dog) across snow-covered terrain. The name comes from the Norwegian word "skikjøring" meaning "ski driving." Après Ski's included skis make him perfect for imagining this exciting winter activity, adding an educational and adventurous element to holiday play.
