Skijoring has surged in Montana over the past decade, with towns such as Bozeman, Big Sky, and Red Lodge hosting competitions. The sport combines ranching and skiing by having a horse pull a skier or snowboarder through an arena-style course lined with jumps, gates, and rings to collect. Teams include a rider and a skier racing against the clock while avoiding penalties. Traditionally small and rural, skijoring is expanding into a professional circuit. The PRO Skijor Frontier Tour will feature seven qualifying events across Utah, Montana, and Idaho in January and February, culminating in championship finals in Salt Lake City.
