In other parts of the world, skijoring is a winter sport where a skier is pulled by a horse, dogs, another animal, or even a motor vehicle. The name is derived from the Norwegian word skikjøring, meaning "ski driving." Here in Heber Valley, the sport features horses with riders pulling skiers and even boarders.
