Skijoring - CANCELLED
Skijor Butte (2900 Hansen Road, Butte, MT) Due to the lack of snow (and lack of snow in the upcoming forecast), we will not be able to hold the Skijor events this year during SNöFLINGA. Not having enough snow prevents us from having an appropriate and safe Skijor course. We do not want to put any racers (humans or equines) at risk for injury on an unsafe course. |
