SPECIAL EVENT: Intro to Skijoring

ABOUT THE EVENT:

Skijoring, which translates to ski driving in Norwegian, is a combination of cross-country skiing and dog sledding. Your dog is outfitted with a dog sledding harness, which is attached by rope or towline to a skijoring harness worn by you.

For this event, we are partnering with Gunstock Mountain Resort for an introductory lesson to this fun and unique sport. Participants will be shown how the sport works, which includes an equipment demonstration, and then have the opportunity to try with assistance on a figure 8 course groomed for this activity. After, enjoy practicing on their groomed trails for the rest of the afternoon.

We are offering a 1-hour session at 11:00am. The session is limited to 10 participants (person and dog).

This event includes: group lesson, skijoring dog equipment, and pass to use trails for the afternoon.

Having your own ski equipment is highly recommended since Gunstock has limited availability. No metal tipped skis please for the safety of the dogs. Additional equipment needed for this adventure includes XC country skis, poles, and boots. If you would like to join this adventure but do not have equipment, please email woof@nhdogwalkingclub.com for additional information before registering. Gunstock can offer equipment rentals at an additional charge.

COST: Limited to 10 tickets/session.

  • 1-hour session at 11:00am

  • Non-Members – $65/person & dog team
  • For maximum happiness, only 1 dog/person please.
