Event Description
Witness Skijoring during Banff and Lake Louise's annual SnowDays Festival. Teams of athletes and horses from Skijor Canada will descend on the town of Banff for a breath-taking exhibition of horse-riding, trick-riding, and ski stunts. Join us to watch Alberta cowgirls, cowboys and skijorlings and their horses, partner with trick skiers to thrill and entertain the crowd.
What to expect:
-An action-packed skijor show including trick riding and stunt skiing.
-Big screens with instant replays and participant interviews.
A SkijorStyle half-time fashion show competition. Brush your yeti boots, dig out your grandma’s fur coat, your pappy’s trapper hat and anything neon in your attic. Mash with leather, fringe and mod tech gear to show us your signature #SkijorStyle. There will be prizes up for grabs!

Please note: This event is weather dependent. Skijor Canada’s first priority is the safety of horses, riders, sliders, and spectators. In the event of adverse weather, including extreme cold or rain, Skijor Canada may need to modify or cancel all or part of the event. If that happens, we’ll provide the latest updates on our Facebook and Instagram or you can also contact our Visitor Services team directly via LiveChat.
